Grace in distress

As a blade of grass, so my life feels like
So frail and weak just as I am
As a helpless babe, so am I
So powerless and dependent
As fearful as the darting of a squirrel, just as I feel
So afraid, directionless, so my heart is

I am frail, weak and fearful
My heart longs for a peace that this world cannot offer
My soul is not at rest
My mind is not at ease

Grant me grace O Lord my Savior
Shed light in this darkness
Help me to see the rays of the sun in this enclosure
Make the lighthouse visible from my stray sailing
I am lost, desperate, and fearful

You are my God, for that I am thankful
You are my Father; hear the cries of your child
You are my strength; listen to the voice of a weak heart
You are my shield; seal me for your thoughts that are above
You are my light; guide my steps and may I ever walk with you
