LORD MAKE ME FOLLOW YOUR STEPS

LORD MAKE ME FOLLOW YOUR STEPS



I have lost my moorings, Lord,
Unworthy is my plight.
Lord make me follow Your steps.
I seek Your kindly light.

Lord, Your footsteps up the hill
Remind me till this day
That I must not forget You,
Though death be not away.

Lord, hold me when weak I am
And shaky my fingers.
Show me Your Commandments when
Doubt in my mind lingers.

Lord I went astray and fell.
Please take me in Your arms.
I forgot You in my heart.
I fell for worldly charms.
