Lent
“By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return.” Genesis 3:19
From dust I came,
To dust I will return,
Yet in my heart, Jesus,
Your fire does burn.
For without You, Lord,
Nothing would I be;
Yet in turning to You
I find eternity.
So take my hand,
Lead me on Your way,
Show me Your will
Unfolding each day.
This Lenten journey
I commit to You;
Show me how to live,
Teach me what to do.
Speak to me Your words,
Words richer than gold,
Share with me Your truths
Of the ages old.
I savor Your presence,
For You alone I live;
To You all things,
Lord Jesus, I give.
Ashes to ashes,
This I know is my fate,
Yet a new birth You give,
A new life You create.
So with You I travel,
To Your hand I cling,
Marveling upon this journey
The miracles You bring.
Wondrous are the blessings
You bestow upon me;
In Your eyes, my Jesus,
I see sweet eternity.
On this Lenten journey,
So much do I learn,
And forever in my heart
Your fire does burn.
