2003 Sowing Seeds Writing Contest Winner: Prayer

"Walk With Me"

by Jodi Lewand of Tacoma, Washington

I come to you in chains

Chains of sin and death

They’re such a weighty burden

I can barely catch my breath

No matter how much I struggle

I can’t seem to break free

A captive to the stronghold of sin

Unbind me

 

Unbind me with your Spirit

Unbind me with the power of your blood

Unbind me with forgiveness and mercy

Unbind me

 

I give into temptation

And don’t consider the cost

Once I walked with you

But now I’m alone and lost

I’ll never find my way home

With you to lead me

A wanderer in need of a guide

Walk with me

 

Walk with me through the desert

Walk with me to the fountain of life

Walk with me to the throne room of God

Walk with me

 

Walk with me Holy Spirit

Walk with me – don’t leave my side

Walk with me until I’m in glory

Walk with me
