54. The One and Only

1 There is absolutely only
One great presence and one Power,
God the good, that is all-knowing;
He is with me hour by hour.
This I know, He is all-powerful,
He is present everywhere.
There's no place where I'm abandoned,
Where I go, He's always there.

2 Always I can have God's guidance
If I listen with my heart;
So, I give myself completely
And I know we'll never part.
Trusting I am sure of answers
To each need for which I pray.
Thrusting, I have all assurance
That my good will come my way.

3 I must find my very own path
As I go along life's way.
Seeking, I will find the courage
To go further on each day.
Though the world seems in a turmoil,
God already has a plan.
I have visions of a future:
All things new, including man!
