Benediction

Susan Ashton


I long for the shape of things to be true to their form 
Love in a circle, hearts in a line 
Molded by sacred design. 

But I see a diversity of opinion unfold 
Discerning masons building a wall 
But I need help to stand, not to fall. 

I'm taking a road that I've never been down 
I'm doing the best I can 
I really believe I'm where I need to be now 
Tell me You understand. 

Chorus: 
I'm following a voice in faithful pursuit 
I'm searching my soul to do what I'm called to do 
I need Your benediction, where's Your benediction 
I'm battling the odds through faces of doubt 
And it would mean so much if You could send me out 
With Your benediction, I need Your benediction. 

--- Instrumental --- 

Don't turn and close Your eyes to the vision I see 
Don't leave me defenseless in fields of reproach 
Now, when I need You the most. 

I'm taking a road that I've never been down 
Tell me that You'll be there 
Helping to turn a discouraging word 
Into a word of prayer. 

Chorus: 
I'm following a voice in faithful pursuit 
I'm searching my soul to do what I'm called to do 
I need Your benediction, where's Your benediction 
I'm battling the odds through faces of doubt 
And it would mean so much if You could send me out 
With Your benediction, I need Your benediction. 

I need Your, I need Your, I need Your 
Benediction. 

Chorus: 
I'm following a voice in faithful pursuit 
I'm searching my soul to do what I'm called to do 
I need Your benediction, where's Your benediction 
I'm battling the odds through faces of doubt 
And it would mean so much if You could send me out 
With Your benediction, I need Your benediction...
