I need your love to guide me, so
I'll never feel alone.
I want to ask you please to
keep my family safe and sound.
Come and fill their lives with
confidence, for whatever fate
they' re bound.
Give me faith, dear God, to
face each hour throughout the
day, And not to worry over
things, I can't change in any
way.
I thank you God, for being
home, and listening to my call,
for giving me such good advice,
when I stumble and fall.
Your number. God, is the
only one that answers eve dme.
I never get a busy signal, never
had to pay a dime.
