Wander

O God,

I confess that I am
prone to wander.

Hard as I try to stay focused,
sometimes my mind will wander.
When it does, let its wandering
always lead me back to you.

Hard as I try to stay on the right path,
sometimes my steps will wander.
When they do, let their wandering
always lead me back to you.

Hard as I try to stay close to you,
sometimes my spirit will wander.
When it does, let its wandering
always lead me back to you.

I am prone to wander;
let me be more prone
to wander back to you.

Amen.
