My Stride
Location
God help me in my walk,
For my steps are stunted by my pain.
I know in You I have true joy,
Even though the world makes me feel shame,
My stunted steps are short,
But You give me strength.
So I see not the short steps I take,
But the gain,
The distance I make.
And I anticipate the end of the day,
With only me and You,
As the world fades away,
What is life but a day?
The glory after sunset, after darkness,
Oh how I wait for that day.
But until then,
I make way,
For the will You have planned for me,
With You in mind,
The short steps I take,
Strides in Your will,
Meant for my sake.
