Take Me With You

Confused and doubtful
Filled will fear. When it seems all hope is gone,
News of death and sickness
all around me,
The future
seems no longer bright
because today offers
no hopes.
The sad stories
and conspiracy theories
have left us even more
confused…
Take me with you

Carry me along
as you walk and work. Do not leave me behind lest I fall.
You are my strength
and my hope.
When the enemies conspire
to bring me down
Your strong hands uphold me.
Do not forget me, my friend
Take me with you.

In my loneliness I found you
a companion and friend. You gently whisper to my ears when no friend is here to talk,
Your voice alone do I hear
when the voices of confusion
seem to rise.
Because I trust you, my friend,
please
take me with you.

Many said they can do it
by their strength
But I in my weakness have found my strength in you
Give me the courage to stand
firm,
the faith to believe,
and the patience to wait on you.
Do not abandon me
Take me with you.

I found consolation
when I pray to you,
Although difficulties surround me,
Your words assure me it is well,
Do not fear,
for I am with you
are your words
that
re-echoes in my heart
Please
do not abandon me
Take me with you

Help me to understand
that life without you
is bitter and sad
Teach me to live by your words
and ignore the conjectures
and conspiracies of men,
Let me walk on the path
that leads to you
and see the light that comes from
you. Take me with you.

Give me the sight
to see the good
and turn my eyes away
from beholding vanity
Give me the courage
to stand by the truth
Let your consolation
be my comfort,
Please do not abandon me
when I fall
Take me with you.

May I know that empty I came
and empty I will leave,
Let vanities never blind my eyes
and dull my heart
Let me be the light
by my example
And at the last day,
Take me home to be with you
forever.
