Teach me

Valiantstar 1961 (Sydney)



Teach me to write
Take my hand
Use the word
To bless your land
My time is short
The road is long
The journey only just begun
So quicken me now
Shine your light
Let your Spirit
Guide my write
I want to live
My life for you
To give a witness
Of all you do
To send your praises
To the great unknown
To follow you always
On my way back home.
