"I turn to You"

(A prayer and a resolution
Written in late March 2010).

In times of trouble where do I turn,
When rivers flood and fires burn?
When cars collide and loved ones 've died,
I'm still trying to learn

To turn to You,
Lord, give me strength
To make it through,
Following Your lead
You'll supply my need,
As I learn to trust in You.

The sun beating on my face,
Struggling to maintain the pace,
Muscles aching, resolution quaking,
Limping just to continue the race,

As I turn to You,
Lord, give me strength
To make it through,
Where You direct
Love to perfect,
As I learn to trust in You.

Whether sunshine or sorrow
Calm or cold winds blow,
No end in sight in the dead of night,
You're always here, I know,

So I'll turn to You,
Lord, give me strength
To make it through,
Following You guide
None will be denied.
Lord, give me strength,
Give me Your strength
To make it through,
As I learn to trust in You.
