When my heart is heavy,
When tears brim in my eye,
When I long like a bird
To escape and to fly,

When the way is dim,
When I am weak and weary,
When all about seems
So dark and dreary,

I see a glimmer
Of Your love-filled light,
Like the dawn of day
You shine through my night..

And my heart cannot help
But feel a surge of peace,
As into Your hands
All I am I release.

Every worry, every woe,
Every trial, every tear,
Every pain, every problem,
Every fight, every fear -

All I release
To You, Jesus, my King,
And I embrace the goodness
Your loving hands bring.

You pave my path
With bright light You shine,
You kiss away tears
With Your love divine,

You instill a song
Ever beautiful, ever new;
Yes, lovely is all You are,
All You say, all You do.

You make strong my bones
Once weak and weary,
You make bright the valleys
Once dark and dreary.

Yes, You restore the sparkle,
The pure joy in my eye..
Jesus, You are my light,
You make my spirit fly!

Purposeful Pathway

Isaiah 40:31
"...but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint."
which is your reasonable service.
