Blaze Me
by Maureen Feely © 2001

Guide me through turbulent waters
past the rocks and crags and fray
Midst the raging angst that surrounds me
I will not succumb today

Cover me with your spirit, though the fog
and haze seem gray
And the roaring torrent upon my soul
I long to cast away

Shower me with discernment
as the ice I trod is thin
Grant me the wisdom of knowing
how to quell this fracus within

Lead me past earthly temptation,
though it looks well to the eye
Cleanse me with your redeeming awareness
to the path I need to trod by

Envelope me with your presence,
for the streets I walk are bleak
And the darkness howls in yearning
for the souls you are to seek

Strengthen me with your power
to be a buoy upon the bay
Steer me to your lost sheep
so that they too, find the way

Sanctify me with your holiness
Bathe me in your light
Give me a heart thats pure and true
Blaze me with joyful delight.
