In Thy Way

In Thy Way

by Patricia A. Pitterle

Lord, stay thou nearby

The world is closing in,

My heart is anguished,

My life filled with sin.

I seek thy mercy,

I plead for thy Grace,

Reach out thy hand

Lift me from this place.

Thou hast atoned

For my worldly sins, 

Enter into my heart,

Cleanse me once again.

Change thou my soul,

Bring me to thee.

Open thou mine eyes,

Help me to see,

Repentance is possible

Even for me.

Make me more holy

As I look to thee.  

Thy Grace rich in mercy

Thy love with me stays

Oh, how my heart sings

As I follow in Thy way.
