God, go before me,
And let me place my steps in your footprints.
Keep my eyes only on You, Lord.
To the left is pain,
To the right is sadness.
Let me stay so near to You,
That You obscure my vision;
Blind me to the future,
To the good things You have prepared for me.
If I see Your grace beyond me,
I will be tempted to overtake You, Lord.
I am selfish and desiring of Your gifts,
But Your timing is more perfect.
A budding flower has no allure,
But when its time has come,
The petals are peeled back,
And the vibrant colors are revealed.
Let me walk along in patience,
Fixated fully on You.
Set the pace, dear Lord,
And I will follow.
