Do not depart from me.
As I begin this journey.
In this lonely hour,
As I leave my shire.
For whatever is in store
Just beyond my door,
It terrifies me so.
Though I do not know.
What terrors lie ahead?
Or where I am being led?
“Be strong all the day.”
“Be courageous,” you say.
To my prayer now hear,
Please take away my fear.
For it cripples my will–
Makes me be still.
Strengthen my knees, my heart …
Be with me as I depart.
Take me now by the hand,
Lead me to this new land.
How do you respond when God calls you to go out and serve Him?
