When the road ahead is dim,
And the night feels deep and still,
Faith begins with a simple prayer.
Lyrics
Verse 1
Be Thou my vision tonight,
Guide my heart toward the light,
Lead me through darkest sight,
When the shadows start to grow,
And I fear the path below,
Let Your quiet wisdom show,
In the silence I will see,
Your hand reaching out to me,
Setting every burden free.
Verse 2
Be my wisdom and my guide,
Walking ever by my side,
Through the turning of the tide,
When confusion clouds my way,
And the truth begins to sway,
Let Your word be what I say,
For Your voice is calm and clear,
Driving far away my fear,
Drawing heaven always near.
Verse 3
Be my shelter in the storm,
When the winds begin to swarm,
And the night grows cold and worn,
Let Your presence warm my soul,
Make the broken pieces whole,
Bring the weary heart its goal,
For in You my hope is found,
Firm upon eternal ground,
Where true peace and love abound.
Verse 4
Be my light when I am blind,
Truth that clears the wandering mind,
Leaving every doubt behind,
Through the valleys deep and wide,
Where the restless fears reside,
Be the strength I cannot hide,
For Your mercy lifts me high,
Like the dawn across the sky,
Ending every silent cry.
Verse 5
Be my treasure and my song,
When the nights feel far too long,
When my courage is not strong,
Let Your grace restore my sight,
Turn my weakness into might,
Fill my darkness with Your light,
For no riches could compare,
With the love You freely share,
Faithful, constant everywhere.
Verse 6
Be my compass through the years,
Through the laughter and the tears,
Through the trials and the fears,
Guide my steps where truth remains,
Through the sunshine and the rains,
Through the losses and the gains,
Every breath that I receive,
Every hope I still believe,
In Your hands I humbly leave.
Verse 7
Be the fire within my heart,
Sacred flame that won’t depart,
Light that guides me from the start,
When the world begins to call,
With its promises so small,
Let Your voice outshine them all,
For the path that leads to You,
Is the one forever true,
Bright with everlasting view.
Verse 8
Be my refuge and my rest,
Safe within Your gentle chest,
Where my soul is truly blessed,
Let the noise of earth grow dim,
As I sing this quiet hymn,
Trusting every word of Him,
In Your arms I lay my fears,
All the weight of passing years,
Washed away like fallen tears.
Verse 9
Be the star that leads me home,
When my heart begins to roam,
Through the deserts where I roam,
Let Your wisdom be my guide,
Through the shifting desert tide,
Where illusions try to hide,
Still Your truth will always shine,
Bright across the grand design,
Calling every soul as Thine.
Verse 10
Be my courage in the fight,
When the darkness blocks the light,
And the wrong appears as right,
Let Your strength within me grow,
Like a river’s steady flow,
Through the valleys far below,
For Your love is victory,
Setting every captive free,
Writing sacred history.

Built by everlasting hands,
Far beyond the shifting sands.
