Master, I will reach out my hand. I need to daily take hold of you;
Savior, I need you to abide with me. Guide all that I say and do.
The journey sometimes seems so long, and the days are dark and dreary;
At times I'm worn down. Many times I've grown weak and weary;
Master I need strength for there are many struggles that I face;
I am daily pressed down and hurting. I daily need your grace.
The evil foe gives me no peace. He daily attacks and torments my soul;
He throws obstacles along the path to keep me from reaching the heavenly goal.
Master in this world of sin, there are many conflicting messages that I hear;
They trouble my soul. I cling to your promises, they alone calm my every fear.
I need to be reminded that your holy blood was shed to cover the stain of sin;
Through faith in you, I have peace and hope without end.
Master I will reach out my hand. Let your love and peace enfold me;
When I feel as if I'm falling, reach down your mighty hand and uphold me.
Help me through this journey to remain faithful, so I'll not fall away;
Be present through this journey. Be my hope and strength for each day.
Michael Carter, 2008
