Sometimes, Lord,
I get lost inside myself...
I lose my way
in a maze of distracted thoughts
troubles and doubts,
anxieties and fears...
At the crossroads of decision
I don't know where to turn:
left or right or straight ahead
- or round and round round...
I walk in circles in my mind
and come to know, and much too well,
the world where I am lost,
with not a clue of where or how
to navigate the narrow paths that trap me
in the corners of my mind...
Find me in the maze, Lord
- search for me and find me!
Help me escape this thicket
of anxiety and fear
where I'm wandering, lost, alone
in the forests of my mind...
Take me by the hand, Lord:
lead me, guide me, shepherd me
beyond my fears, beyond my tears,
from darkness into light...
Help me find my way, Lord,
on the paths I fear to walk
and give me all the grace I need
to face what lies ahead of me,
to go where you may lead...
Help me trust you'll find me, Lord,
and gently guide my way
to a place I just can't see right now,
a time I can't imagine,
and gently guide my way
to a place I just can't see right now,
a time I can't imagine,
to that peace I long and pray for
and fear I may not find...
Find me in the maze, Lord, and take me by the hand:
lead me, guide me, shepherd me
beyond my fears, beyond my tears,
from darkness into light...
Amen.
