My Pilot
There is a time to laugh a time to cry
A time to live a time to die
A time to sing a time to love
A time to worship the Lord above
He has given me another day
Time to reflect time to pray
I thank him for all the gifts bestowed
And helping me carry a burdensome load
I thank Him for his guidance in everything I do
Dear Lord I couldn’t do a thing without you
You are always there when I beckon or call
To help me with difficulties when I’m against a wall
You are my friend and companion in every way
You listen to me anytime of night or day
Your guiding hand shows me which road to take
You are my protector when I’m asleep or awake
You are my pilot in choosing the way
Protecting me from evil and going astray
Although life at times seems unbearable to cope
You give me courage and renewed hope
When I’m lonely and no one to care
I am comforted knowing you are there
My faith and praise of You I extol
Knowing that my life is in Your control
You have never failed to rescue me
No matter how trivial my problems may be
I wonder if I am a selfish fool
To call upon you with problems so miniscule
Things will go wrong; often they will
There will be rough times before I climb that hill
I know, Lord, you will show me the way
If I have faith and take the time to pray
