God's Guidance – HOPE Refined

My Bible is a precious gift
Direct from God above
Which I can touch on earth to feel
The substance of His love.

Its pages glow with perfect light
Which guide my steps below;
Its words direct my thoughts to see
The God I want to know.

Its books reveal God’s master plan
That spans each day and year;
Its lines expose His caring love
And tell me He is near.

It is a pledge of One I love,
Of One I cannot see
That He is real and I have hope
Because the Lord knows me.

Sometimes the path is bumpy
On which we walk through life
With roots and stones to trip us
And lined with grief and strife.

But Jesus went before us
To prove it leads above
Where He is kindly waiting
To welcome us in love.

Our Father made the pathway
And clears it day by day
So we won’t face a problem
That turns our soul away.

The Spirit walks beside us
To comfort, cheer, and guide –
His help to those who seek Him
Will never be denied.

So when the path is sunlit,
Or lonely, dark, and long,
The Lord Himself is with us
And He will give a song.

Guide Me
From Proverbs 3:5-6

With all my heart I trust You, Lord,
I trust Your way is best,
And I believe Your every Word –
In Your good will I rest.

I often cannot understand
The details of Your way,
But I submit my mind to You
To follow You each day.

Your plan holds blessings and success –
The praise to You is due.
Yours be the glory in my life –
I’m not ashamed of You.

Lord, as I trust, acknowledge You
You promise to supply
Direction through the paths of life
And guidance with Your eye.

I live with no ‘what if’s,’
God’s hand is ever strong;
I trust He knows what’s best
Because He’s never wrong.

I live with no ‘what if’s,’
The past is in His hand,
He sees the reason for
What I can’t understand.

I live with no ‘what if’s’
And so I need not fear,
The future’s just as sure
To God as my last year.

I live with no ‘what if’s,’
God weaves life’s tapestry –
Though now I see bare threads,
He’ll show the top to me.

I live with no ‘what if’s,’
It’s such a place of peace,
For as I do and love
My doubts and fears can cease.
