DEAR LORD I'M LOST, TIRED AND FRIGHTENED

Dear Lord,

I’m lost

And tired

And frightened

I’m standing somewhere in the middle

Afraid to step in either direction

For fear I’ll choose the wrong way

Yet afraid of standing still

For fear my chance for life will pass me by

I’m lost

In need of someone to show me the way

And somewhere in the distance

In all the darkness that surrounds me

I know You are there with outstretched hands

Waiting to lead me home

So at times like now, Lord

When I need you most

Give me the strength to reach out

To take Your hand

Because I am weak

I am tired

And I want to come home
