Turning

As I climbed towards the mountain top,

I raised my eyes and looked above.

I could faintly see a majestic peak,

but the path to get there I could not see.

My heart grew faint and my soul did cry,

I cannot make it, I cannot try.

In anguish, I fell to my knees,

Lord, please send me thy light 

so that I might see

a little of the path for me.

I know I can make it to the end

if thou thine hope to me can send.

I will trust and I will follow,

and bring with me all those I know.

I know this mountain

thou hast climbed and

already faced these challenges I find.

O, stay with me and never depart,

for to thee I give my heart.
