In Every Age You Have My Hand

– Br. Michael, ofm   

When the storms of life are constant,

when the waves never seem to cease,

when the roar of wind is all I feel,

I trust O God you have my hand.

 

When it feels like it’s always uphill,

when the climb is very steep,

when the peak is not in view,

I trust O God you have my hand.

 

When war rages in my head,

when the tug of war is intense,

when I must shelter in place,

I trust O God you have my hand.

 

When I’m frozen in the cold,

when I’m lost in uncertainty,

when there seems to be no letting up,

I trust O God you have my hand.

 

In every age O God, you are present

you meet me,

you walk with me,

you know me.

 

In every age O God, your love endures

enlightening my heart,

opening my eyes,

guiding my feet.

 

In every age O God, you remain

steadfast and faithful,

generous and good,

merciful and kind.

 

In every age O God, I turn to you,

you are my breath,

you are my way,

you are my life.

 

In every age O God, you have my hand every day.

Inspired by Matthew 14.31 and Psalm 90
