Dear Lord Jesus, even though lately
I've been feeling down and blue;
I find comfort in hoping, in believing
That my soul is forever secure in You.
I pray You would restore to me, Lord,
The wonderful joy of salvation I felt at first.
For Your Presence I hunger so much;
For the touch of Your Holy Spirit I thirst.
Please work in me, and renew in me
A soft heart, and a spirit willing and right.
Kindle in my heart Your holy fire;
An ardent desire to fight the good fight.
Lead me, teach me, guide me, Lord;
Keep me, let me never again go astray.
Lord Jesus, You're all I want, all I need;
My loving God on whom I wait all the day.
In the midst of my pain and my anguish
Help me to be thankful, to rest in Thee;
To trust You're with me always, dear Lord -
And I am so blessed, even in adversity!
Amen
