My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going I do not see the road ahead of me I cannot know for certain where it will end Nor do I really know myself And the fact that I think that I am following your will Does not mean that I am actually doing so But I believe that the desire to please you Does in fact please you And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire And I know that if I do this You will lead me by the right road Though I may know nothing about it Therefore will I trust you always Though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death I will not fear for you are ever with me And you will never leave me to face my perils alone Words by Thomas Merton, Thoughts in Solitude © 1958 Abbey of Gethsemani Permission granted by the Merton Legacy Trust Music by Kate Campbell © 2006 Large River Music (BMI) Aus Songtexte Mania
