Whatever you do, wherever you go, seek the ultimate source of joy for the journey of life.
From the mountains of life’s triumphs
as we spread our wings to soar,
help us always to remember
you’re our source, God. We are yours.
As we cross the plains and deserts,
when no change appears in view,
may we see the splendor round us.
Keep us focused, God, on you.
Though the valleys overwhelm us,
we will not fall in defeat.
God, we know that you will lift us.
You will make our lives complete.
Your never-failing love
gives hope when we’re hopeless,
shines light in our darkness,
grants joy for the journey ahead.
“You have made known to me the paths of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence” (Acts 2:28 NIV).
