Lord, Teach Me

"Thus saith the Lord, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; 

I am the Lord thy God which teacheth thee to profit, 

which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go." 

~Isaiah 48:17 (KJV)

Lord, Teach Me 

(A Prayer Poem~Inspired by Isaiah 48:17-21)

Oh Lord, you are my God

Teach me, Lord, I pray,

Teach me what is best for me,

Lord, teach me every day.

Oh Lord, you are my God,

Please lead me where to go,

Guide me down Thy holy paths,

Thy will I want to know.

Oh Lord you are my God,

Lord, help me to obey,

To hear Thy voice, Lord, in my heart

And do all that You say.

Thy word says if I listen

And walk within Your Light

My peace will be a river

That never will run dry.

My righteousness will be like waves

That role upon the sea,

Ever rolling on and on

If I follow Thee.

My children will be like grains...

Of sand upon the shore

Measureless as the grains of sand

And live forever more

If I will obey Thy voice

And follow Thee, oh Lord.

Oh Lord, You are my God

And to Thy path of faith,

Is where You call my heart to go

And follow You each day.

You call me to the sea,

And there You make a path

Upon the rolling waves You say,

"Trust Me and hold My hand.

You will not let me fall

Beneath the rolling tide

I am always safe with You,

For Lord, You are my Guide.

You carry me to Your shelter,

Despite the wind and waves

We'll walk upon the water

Till on Thy Shores we're safe.

Oh Lord, You are my God,

Please teach me, Lord, I pray,

Please teach me what is best for me

Lord, teach me every day.

~In Jesus' name, Amen.
