Guide me, Lord, the way that I should go.
Demonstrate to me what I should do.
Strengthen me to act as You will show.
Make my mission pleasing unto You.
I will not shrink from work which is not mine,
Though it endangers me before my foes.
I will fulfill my call from the Divine,
And swerve not to the culture's ebbs and flows.
When enemies surround and pressure me;
When those I helped betray me to the sword;
When I'm cut off from any way to flee;
Speak to me, I wait upon Your word.
I do not trust in human strength or faith,
I do not hope in impregnable walls,
But in Your hand will be my hiding place;
My only refuge is the Lord of All.
