Lord you are my comfort, Lord you are my guide,
I depend upon you daily to walk right by my side.
Some days I feel so lonely as if no one really cares,
no one's ever there, to wipe away my tears.

Then I feel your presence, a warmth runs over me,
I lift my hands toward Heaven and suddenly I am set Free!
I'm free from all the confusion, I'm free from all the pain,
I have nothing to loose in this world, for it's peace,
and love I've gained.

Thank you Lord for saving me, for taking away all my sin,
Thank you Lord for loving me, for only You I can depend.

Loneliness consumes me no matter where I am
Whether my day is beginning or its the days end;
Lord I need you near me every step of every day
I need to feel your presence, please hear my humble plea.

Help me Lord to trust you, you know what's best for me
I know you won't allow more than I can handle comfortably;
When my road gets bumpy, the way seems long and hard
Lord keep your hand upon me, with you in one accord.

Lord help me through this trial, keep me focused every day
To spend more time with you Lord, for wisdom Lord I pray.
