When I am scared and gripped with fear

When bad seems all, and good seems lost

I reach to bring You near

In times I’m hopeless and despair

When the future looks so dim

And I wonder, asking why

In prayer I must turn to Him

In times I search, so alone

When the path is yet unclear

And I lose direction in the dark

Your voice I strain to hear

In times of sorrow and of loss

When all good seems gone

And time does not seem to heal

For your loving arms I long

In times like this, so weary and sad

When I can not find the way

When decisions and thoughts confuse

For Your peace I long today

In the worst of times

When darkness falls

When all hope fades

Your name I call

For

I know You’re there

In every time and place

Although often blinded

From Your loving face

Protect me Lord

From all that would harm

My body and my soul

And keep me safe

From all that pulls me away

From You, my eternal goal
