As I Knelt By My Bedside to Pray

DSC08605

I knelt by my bedside to pray
One night as I was all alone.
I wanted to do what was right,
Surely He would show me the way.

I knelt by my bedside to pray,
To Him I gave all my dreams.
To fulfill, to lay aside-
His will alone I sought that day.

“I will lead you, I will guide your way,
I will be there each moment
I am by your side with you
As you kneel by your bedside to pray”
I knelt by my beside to pray.
I poured out my heart that night,

I asked Him to guide my steps,
To never let me to stray.

I knelt by my bedside to pray,
That He would stand by my side
To help me, to guide me
To teach me what to say.

“I will lead you, I will guide your way,
I will be there each moment
I am by your side with you
As you kneel by your bedside to pray”

I love old books, real letters, cups of tea, dirt and seeds and growing things, barefoot days and most of all being married to my best friend. I'm not really a writer. I just try to write because I can't seem to help it.
