travelling with God

prayer for those on the move, either to see the world, escape their own or to find peace

Dear Lord, [Introductory recitation] either by the wheel, the saltwater hull or the steel wings that glide above be that on every traveler's weary head may rest, the glowing white dove [stanza one] may Your eyes watch over them, and may Your hands hold and guide theirs may You join all my brethren and be with them, from here to anywhere [chorus] may You never leave their side in the silence of coldest nights may Your grace be ever, as they walk their way Guide them and lead them, Oh Lord,  ne'er lead them astray [bridge] my only request, the only thing I ask of you: [stanza two] to lead my loved ones, and anyone at that, to the world of places and home again, back [stanza three] may Your hands guide their hands as You've guided mine may Your mercy, Your love, Your forgiveness keep them on track. Amen
