LEAD US

                                             LORD LEAD US

                                        ©Kerrie O'Hearn Marquart

Give me peace in all my days

And I will praise thee in many ways.

In song and prayer, in mind and heart,

I'll do my best to do my part...

To be your loving servant.

Lord, I am humble at your feet,

I bow my head when in prayer, we meet.

And thank thee for all blessings given

And pray that we all will meet in heaven

...whatever road we take.

There cannot be a wrong road,

 With the "lamp unto our feet",

when we are guided by the ONE

On the right hand of God's seat,

Lead us toward your light.

~Amen

OUT OF THE DARKNESS INTO THE LIGHT

WAY BACK IN 1987, I awoke one Sunday Morning from a dream...Sunshine was streaming in two long windows.  Bill was saying, "we should always pray here-where the sun shines in."  I was so sleepy but I had to get up and write down the words as they came to to me.  I had wanted to add music to the verse but have not.  I share it now with you:

                      Out of the Darkess

                                by Kerrie O'Hearn Marquart 8/30/87

Out of the Darkness, into the light

Jesus lead me to prayer.

When darkness falls and I start to despair,

Light the lamp and lead me to prayer.

When I am weary and filled with fear,

You light the lamp and show that you care.

Out of the darkness, into the light

Let all my paths lead to thee.

No matter what trouble or sorrow I see,

I shall never give up, the lamp waits for me.

The warm glow of Jesus is beckoning to me,

"Come out of the darkness and follow me."
