Constant Guide

My heart is staid and true
unwavering, constant.
Set on track
course marked out–
no straying.

Peace, be still
my soul at rest.
This night, this day–
all time, all place.

Be my captain
ready for the road.
Passenger, not driver
friend, companion.

My master, my Lord
your will, not mine.
Take this way
and be my guide.

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge cloud of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily hinders our progress. And let us run with endurance the race that God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, on whom our faith depends from start to finish.” – Hebrews 12:1-2
