Chronicles of a Journeyman

I look to my right

And You are not there

I turn to my left

And I can not find You

Your Light is not with me

Mere shadows terrify me

Your Voice is far too faint

My fears are loud and scary

I am surrounded by darkness

And submersed in the depths

Are You mindful of my sins still?

Do they persist before You?

Cover me with Your mercy

And forgive my grievous iniquity

Draw me near to Your presence

And let Your glory overshadow me

Turn Lord, and be merciful to me

That I may see Your great works

And proclaim Your faithful love 

While I remain among the living

Let my days count for Your purpose

And my moments for Your praise

That all may see and give You thanks

For great is Your name in all the earth
