To Do the Work

To do the work you've given me to do,
to carry what you've given me to bear,
and if you let me, then to see it through,
or lay it down and give it to your care.

To love whom you have given me to love,
to feed the hunger you give me to feed,
and trust that you will lay the good I've done
upon the table where we all will eat.

To follow when I cannot see the way,
to trust that in the dark you guide my steps.
To hope you work for good in my mistakes.
to sing your name with every single breath.

O Father, lay the road before my feet,
the valleys and the mountains I will climb,
for I will stay the course you set for me
and seek you in the footsteps of my life.
