O Lord, my Father
Why does my heart ache?
What is this pain?
It feels like a gentle touch,
A constant reminder of
my faith and devotion towards thee.
The earthly desires are very present.
They confuse and spoil our soul.
But, what should our pursuit be?
The ever present battle of flesh and soul.
O Lord, my Father
Guide the way.
We are boats,
drifting,
straying,
caught in the currents of life.
Father,
Please be our captain.
Steer us to calm waters,
Save us from the rocks.
O Lord, my Father
You are the light in the horizon.
You are the lighthouse,
You light the way back to shore.
You save us from the darkness,
and the fog of our lives.
