COMPASS

“Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.” - Psalm 119:105

We’ve all gone through seasons where we’ve felt lost – where uncertainty, doubt, insecurity and fear have been like a cloud of darkness impairing our direction. In those seasons, it can be easy to feel lost, discouraged and dismayed. Thankfully, God promises to lead us and guide us through every season, not just when the path is clear and the going is good. His Word is living and active; it’s trustworthy and sure; it’s powerful and effective. When we find ourselves navigating the difficulties of life, the best thing we can do is hold fast to the truth of God’s Word. “Compass” is a song that speaks to the reality of hardship, and reminds us to focus our attention on the truth revealed in God’s Word. We can be honest about where we find ourselves in life, and yet declare the faithfulness and goodness of God in the midst of our situation. God is our loving Father, our ever-present help in time of need. Though we may not know every step of our journey, we can live with confidence, knowing that God is always with us, leading us along the way. 

VERSE 1
The night is dark
I can't even see my feet
A valley so low,
My soul can hardly stand the cold 
Which way to go
My eyes they fail to see the road 
Yet I am not alone
My God will ever be my guide

PRECHORUS
I will not fear the night
I will not fear the night
Your Word will guard my heart
And keep my head held high

CHORUS
I’ll fix my eyes on You my guide
And walk this narrow road with You by my side 
Compass of my heart, Your hope will never fail 
This lamp unto my feet, Your love will light the way

VERSE 2
My once foraging heart
An instinctive want to chase the wild Was tamed by his love
No longer lost but satisfied
You are my cloud by day
A blazing fire to pierce the dark
And I will stand on Your truth
My daily bread and spring of life

CHORUS 2
Compass of my heart
Your hope will never fail
This lamp unto my feet
You love will light my way
