God, Help Me, I Have Lost My Way. Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

God,
I have lost my way in a barren desert.
Rescue me in my peril.

I live in darkness and gloom,
I feel I am bound in chains.

I was proud.
You humbled my heart through hardships.

In my distress I cry to you.
Break my chains asunder.

Speak to me your loving word,
to heal my heart and soul.
I shall praise the wonders of God
in the barren desert

Calm the storm wind in me.
Hush the storm to a murmur.

You who can change the rivers into desert,
change my desert into pools of water.
