Staying Tuned

Lord, help my eyes to clearly see.
Let my ears hear ALL You say.
Help my spirit to discern
Your truth and always to obey.

I do not want to fall or stumble,
Or "miss the mark" in any way.
But only by Your guiding hand
Can I within Your watchcare stay.

For my own flesh would surely fail.
My mind would wander far astray.
Daily cares would pull me down
And all my thoughts would quickly sway.

But when I read Your Holy Word
And all Your beauty I survey,
My life is changed and so much blessed,
I know I've found a better way.

"Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee."
Psalm 119:11 KJV

"Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counsellors."
Psalm 119:24 KJV
