I HAVE ROAMED

I have roamed, I have groped in the night,

I have stumbled on paths without light,

Still I know I could walk without fear:

You were there by my side always near!

For this, I thank you, Lord,

Yes, Lord, for the gift of your life!

There were times in my life when I cried,

When I cheated, offended and lied.

Yet, O Lord, all my sins you forgave:

Not to judge did you come but to save.

If one day I forget, O Lord,

If the zeal for your house is no more,

Then I’m sure you will come, O my friend,

To increase my weak faith once again.
