Take My Hand

“Greater love has no one than this, that he lay his life down for his friends.”   John 15:13

take my hand,

lead me as one blinded

by their own ignorance,

rebuke my evil ways,

teach me Your discipline,

show me Your truth,

place Your laws within my heart,

let me follow Your example,

help me survive the suffering,

make me understand

what love really is;

I am so lost in this world

blinded by its own darkness,

surrounded by the need

for retaliation and revenge,

judging by man-made rules

and traditions,

where might makes right

and only the strong survive,

killing in the name

of righteousness,

leveling the playing field,

settling the score;

lead me from this place,

restore the innocence

forever gone,

shine Your light upon me,

fill me with Your Spirit,

make me holy and clean;

make me a son

of the living God.
