Show Me the Way

Lord show me the way to Your heart
A place of truth and love
With only righteousness
In the chambers thereof.

And show me the way to Your arms
Of comfort and security.
For there’s no other place
That I would rather be.

Lord show me the way to Your temple,
Where there is true joy.
There You are exalted,
Your praises to employ.

And show me the way to your throne,
Where You sit as King.
And all bow to worship
As Your praises ring.

Lord show me the way home,
Where the Father knows best.
A place of true comfort,
Eternal peace and rest.

For there is where the soul
Shall end its true quest—
Just like the longing sparrow
That’s finds itself a nest.
