Finding the Holy Spirit through trials

Lyrics

My Guide

By: Marie Ashmeade
February 2003

Drowning, in an ocean of fear
Lost my best friend, felt like nobody cared
Anxiety was the only thing that stayed
It said stick with me, baby, we two have it made

Struggling in a state of despair
The deceiver's lies were all I could hear
Stress looked me in the eyes and said, I am your best bet
I'm here for you, in all you do, go ahead and fret

Drowning, in an ocean so deep
Insomnia took the place of sleep
Doubt put its arms around me and held me ever tight
Then whispered to me softly, I'm your guiding light

Lying, on a bed of defeat
Paralyzed, I could not feel my feet
The muscles in my body went their separate ways
Dying in my sorrows, minutes seemed like days

Drifting, in a timeless space
So far behind, thought I was in first place
Fear said matter-of-factly, I am here for you
I'll keep you nice and paranoid in everything you do

Early one morning, I turned the radio on
They were playing a soothing song
Half awake I heard a voice say, "Christ already won the race"
"Cast your cares on Him right now." Oh, amazing grace

These days I'm swimming, in an ocean of peace
Storms do come, but my faith I release
The Captain safely leads me to the other side
I have no use for doubt now; the Holy Spirit is my guide

No more drowning, in that ocean of fear
Found a best friend who truly cares
He's ever close beside me, in everything I do
And if you truly trust Him; He'll do the same for you
