I don’t know where to go, Lord,
I’m not sure just what to do,
I’m asking for your help, Lord,
I ask you, please, to guide me through
the trials and the turmoil
in this place in which I’m lost;
I don’t know where to turn, Lord,
This place is cold and filled with frost.
I seem to wander ‘round in circles,
and all I do is shed these tears,
Yet I do know I will make it through,
in time this fog will clear.
But, I feel so all alone now,
there seems no purpose anymore,
and I knock, I keep on knocking,
steady knocking on your door.
My cross, so very heavy,
and there’s too much on my plate...
I feel my heart’s about to buckle
and die beneath such weight.
And, while I know that you watch over me,
you carry me when I am weak...
I cannot find your whereabouts
when to look upon your face is what I seek.
Please show me where to look, Lord,
how to rise above and to strengthen my Faith,
not only that I may hold your hand;
but see the beauty of thy face.
I used to be such a happy soul -
Faith came so naturally,
but lately Faith’s been faultering
and I seem to stumble and fall easily.
So please, dear Father, help me stand,
help my feet be sure again...
And every prayer within my heart
upon wings to you I heaven send...
