Make my way straight, O, Father please,
Is it a trait of those who follow thee,
To have a heavy heart and weary knees?
Make my way straight, O, Father please.
What wouldst thou have me do? I ask,
Please O Lord I need thy care,
Wouldst thou offer me a holy task?
And thy love with me so meekly share?
Wouldst thou forgive, and how often canst thou do?
Why should I stray? I know there is no excuse,
I can do all with thee, I can make a ship to travel the seas,
O, Lord, make my way straight, O Father please.
With thy spirit I will forgive my brother,
I will go and do thy will today,
I will worship thee forever and never another,
Please Father, please Father, straighten my way.
I will command the earth to move asunder,
I would do all if thou commanded me,
I will stand and praise in awesome wonder,
And give all the credit forever to thee.
With thee all things I know I could do,
But right now I don’t need to cross a sea,
I just need to stand tall for goodness and truth,
And love my brother and friends like thee.
Make my way straight, O, Father please,
Is it a trait of those who follow thee,
To have a heavy heart and weary knees?
Make my way straight, O, Father please.
