Light My Way

Peter Mayer/Patricia O’Reilly
For Ron Glusenkamp

When morning sun brings the dawn, Love light my way
Lead me on as world turns ’round and night enfolds the day
Through spinning seasons, reeling change, Lord light my way
Each one in rhythm with the song of life you did create

Surprised us with grace
Beside us you stay
Recognized us for who we are and whose we are by name

When we must say farewell my friend, Love light my way
A new beginning with each end a bloom upon the grave
A time to mourn, a time to dance, Lord light my way
Standing with us, hand in hand, the circle shall not break

Surprised us with grace
Beside us you stay
Recognized us for who we are and whose we are by name

Chorus
Oh Lord Light my way
Love light my way
Together now we pray
Oh Lord Light my way

Rest will follow labors, hope will answer fear
The harvest of our laughter for the seeds we sow in tears
We work, we worry, strive for faith, Lord light my way
And all the while we’re in the arms of love we can’t escape

Beside us to stay
Surprised us with grace
Recognized us for who we are and whose we are by name

Chorus

Joy Joy you shine on us
Lord light my way
Peace now to set us free
Love light my way
Bind us in these chains of love
Lord Light my way
Send your blessings from above
Lord Light my way
