God Lodestone

O God, You’re my beginning and my end,
You are my finish line, You are my start,
You are my Master, Lord, my loyal friend,
You rule my reason cold, my tender heart.

You are my lodestone with Your steady hand,
You are my inspiration and my goal,
You are my beacon leading me to land,
You are the anchor of my fickle soul.

The alpha and omega of my years,
You took my nothing dust and fashioned me,
You give both unearned joy and testing tears,
my run You turn into eternity.

I trust, Lord, when Your moulding me is through,
I’ll worthy send my grateful soul to You.
