Oh that my ways were directed to follow You!
Then I would not be ashamed,
My soul clings to the dust;
Revive me according to your word.
My soul melts with heaviness;
Strengthen me according to your word.
Remember the word to Your servant,
Upon which You have caused me to hope.
This is my comfort in my affliction,
For your word has given me life.
It is good for me that I have been afflicted,
That I may learn Your Way.
I am afflicted very much;
Revive me, O Lord, according to Your word.
Your word is a lamp to my feet
And a light to my path. (Psalm 119: various)
I recently stumbled on an old song that seems to go well with the above Psalm. It actually seemed to be my very prayer as I struggle to follow my Savior. It pierced my heart in such a way as a begging prayer of a destitute man, while simultaneously causing me to worship my Friend. Below are the lyrics and the youtube connection. Hopefully it will impact someone here as well.
SHOW ME THE ROAD Harvey Reid, Of Water and Wind album
Too many miles have I traveled alone
Show me the road that leads to my Home.
Strangers, strangers, everywhere I roam,
Show me the road that leads to my home.
Trouble, trouble, trouble on my mind,
Show me the road that leads to my home.
Finding precious little peace, losing precious time;
Show me the road that leads to my home.
Show me a sign, tell me a reason;
Cold winds have scattered the seeds I have sown.
Lord let me live to see another morning;
Show me the road that leads to my home.
Such a long long journey it seems we travel on;
Show me the road that leads to my home.
Such a short time we're here friends, and then we're gone;
Show me the road that leads to my home.
Remembering just the good times, feeling just the pain;
Show me the road that leads to my home.
Hearing just the sad songs, seeing just the rain;
Show me the road that leads to my Home.
Then I would not be ashamed,
My soul clings to the dust;
Revive me according to your word.
My soul melts with heaviness;
Strengthen me according to your word.
Remember the word to Your servant,
Upon which You have caused me to hope.
This is my comfort in my affliction,
For your word has given me life.
It is good for me that I have been afflicted,
That I may learn Your Way.
I am afflicted very much;
Revive me, O Lord, according to Your word.
