Your word a lantern leading me home

Through tangled doubts and winding trails

Your wisdom prevails when my vision fails

Step by step you chart the course

Your love the force that steers my source

Though storms may blow the way ahead

Your promise burns I'll not be misled

Your guiding hand my constant stay

Your path of light cuts through the gray

You call the stars by name yet see my frame

A father's heart that knows my pain

In every twist in every bend

Your grace extends beyond the end

No pride would fear me off the road

You lift the load you bear the gold

The narrow way though few may tread

Is life instead of hollow dread

No shadow turn escapes your gaze

You guard my days with ancient ways

You call the stars by name yet see my frame

A father's light cuts through the gray

In every twist in every bend

Your grace extends beyond the end

The world may chase its fleeting prize

But you're the treasure that satisfies

Your guiding hand my soul's true north

In christ alone my praise pours forth

Oh father fly my soul's true north

In christ alone my praise pours forth

Father of ever bright jesus my dawn my endless night

The world may chase its fleeting prize

But you're the treasure that satisfies

You caught the fear me off the road

You lift the load you bear the goat

And pride will hear me off the road

You lift the load you bear the goat

The narrow way though few may tread

Is life instead of hollow dread

No shadow turn escapes your gaze

You guard my days with ancient ways
