My heart needs to be where You are

Jesus, I don't want to go somewhere if I know that You're not there. I'm not sure where You're taking me right now, but I'm trusting You to guide me in the journey. I'm watching Your eyes, holding Your hand, stepping in the direction that I feel You gently tugging me. But if I begin to miss a step, Jesus, please pull me back on track. Because I don't want to be walking a road without You beside me.

When my eyes are clouded by the fog around me, let me see with eyes of faith.
When my feet grow weary, give me new strength.
When my courage weakens, instill boldness in my heart.
When my ears are distracted by the trivialities around me, whisper my name again.
When my hope wavers, give me another glimpse of the future You have prepared for me.
When my understanding is limited, give me Your wisdom.

When I can't hold myself up, grant me friends that will lift me in prayer.
When I can't change the circumstances, let me remember that You still work miracles.
When I can't say the right thing or find the words, put Your words in my mouth.
When I can't see the way things really are, clear away the confusion.
When I can't go, grant me grace to stay where You have placed me.
When I can't stay, give me wings to fly to the new assignment.

I want to be in the center of Your will for me--not a step behind, not a step ahead.

My heart needs to be where You are.

Hold me close, Jesus. I need Your arms around me. I need to hear Your heartbeat. I need to hear Your love for me whispered in my ear. I need You.

I Don't Want to Go Somewhere--Avalon
You changed my world
When You came to me.
You drove a passion,
In my soul down deep,
Lord, to follow You in everything.

I don't want to go somewhere
If I know that You're not there,
'Cause I know that me without You is a lie.
And I don't want to walk that road,
Be a million miles from home,
Cause my heart needs to be where You are.
So I don't want to go.

So come whatever,
(Whatever may come)
I'll stick with You.
(Right by Your side)
I'll walk You'll lead me,
Call me crazy or a fool,
For forever I promise You...

That I don't want to go somewhere
If I know that You're not there,
'Cause I know that me without You is a lie.
And I don't want to walk that road,
Be a million miles from home,
Cause my heart needs to be where You are.
So I don't want to go
Without Your touch,
Without Your love
Filling me like an ocean.
For Your grace is enough,
Enough for me.
