Dear Lord,
Help us on our journey—
don't let us walk alone.
Take our hands and lead us—
don't ever let us roam.
Let us soar like eagles—
please give us wings to fly.
Come show us where to land—
don't let life pass us by.
Teach us to be humble
and lend a helping hand.
Give us strength, when we're weak,
no matter where we land.
