Guide My Hand

Though my 3 fingers hold the pen,
I pray God that you guide my hand-
To help me touch the hearts of men,
That they may come to understand.

Your boundless mercy and amazing grace
That they may know your peace-
And in you find a resting place
Where fruitless worries would all cease.

Help me find a way to impart,
The the joy I've found as I've kneeled-
And your word, hidden in my heart,
May through my writing be revealed.

Not my words, Father God, but yours,
May be planted and then take root-
And that your spirit opens doors,
So those words may then bear fruit.

I pray you use me as you will,
And that your perfect will be done-
That your Holy Spirit may instill,
The means to glorify your Son.

I've poured your word into my spirit,
And meditated upon each line-
That I may both fear and revere it,
As a spiritual gold mine.

It's riches, which are beyond compare,
Must be declared to this generation-
So I pray God that I may share,
The great hope of my salvation.

Your Son, our Lord, Jesus Christ,
The only hope for a sin sick soul-
For which he gladly sacrificed,
His love- so that we may be made whole.

I'll hold the men, God guide my hand,
That your truth may flow freely-
According to your perfect plan,
I pray God, that you may use me.
