On Even Keel

Lord, teach me to walk that narrow path
And be on an even keel.
Some days, I'm up and other days down;
Just like a yo-yo is how I feel.

Pull my strings and, with You,
I'll be riding on high.
Moon beams, rainbows, and
Sparkling stars will light up the sky.

Never let me fluctuate or go astray,
Be deeply pitted in my heart, come what may.
Grant me wisdom to do my very best.
Let me go to the head of the class
And pass every crucial test.

When dark clouds come storming in,
Throw me an anchor and let me swim.
Give me the strength to witness
And tell people about salvation ...

That leads to a better life,
That includes only You.
Let them smell roses
And taste the morning dew.

Guide me down that narrow path
And let me be on even keel.
I'm on that mountain top and,
Jesus, that's how You make me feel.
