On Facing The Journey Ahead

Please hold my hand, O Saviour mine,

The way is dark and I am scared.

Fear beats at me with heavy wings,

And I can scarcely breathe.

It’s not the path I need to see,

Nor what is coming up ahead.

Your face—don’t hide Your face from me.

Or I am finished now.

I need to feel Your hand’s warm grip,

To see Your eyes upon my face

O let me hear Your loving voice.

For that is life to me.
