A Graduate's Prayer
Dear Lord,As I look toward the futureBright hope conducts this prayer,For I know the plans You have for meWere wrought with divine care.Holy Spirit, lead me.Let me run at Your command,Yet be still and know that You are GodWhen trouble is close at hand.Your Word will be a lamp for me,A guide to light my way,A solid place to set my feet,A compass when I stray.
May I live my life to praise You,Not for fortune, nor for fame,May everything I say and doBring glory to Your name.
May my eyes stay fixed upon YouAs I seek the way that's pure,Tasting Your love and goodnessSleeping and rising secure.
Planted by Your living streamsI'll delight in all Your ways,Hidden by Your sheltering wingsWith new mercies for each day.
Even in a dangerous landWhen storms threaten to destroy,At the cross I'll stand upon the RockMy Strength, my Hope, my Joy.
Dear Lord, show me Your favor,At all times keep me blessed,May Your face ever shine upon me,With peace and perfect rest.- Mary Fairchild
Amen.
