Steady,

I
sit
here
in
the
quiet
of
the
morning
light
Prayin’
for
the
wisdom
to
lead
my
kids
aright
I
look
back
at
the
pages
where
the
stories
all
unfold
Of
the
shepherd
and
the
lamb
within
the
master’
s
fold
I
think
of
Eli
in
the
temple,
let
his
boys
go
their
own
way
And
I
feel
the
heavy
burden
of
the
words
I
have
to
say
I
don’
t
want
a
house
that
crumbles,
I
don’
t
want
a
heart
to
stray
I’
m
reachin’
for
the
promises
to
light
their
path
today
Oh,
let
me
love
like
Job
did
when
the
fire
was
burning
low
With
a
heart
that’
s
firmly
planted
where
the
living
waters
flow
Not
the
silence
of
a
father
who
just
lets
the
wild
wind
blow
But
a
hand
upon
their
shoulder,
helpin’
grace
and
mercy
grow
Yeah,
I’
m
buildin’
up
an
altar
in
the
middle
of
our
home
So
they’
ll
always
know
the
way
back,
no
matter
where
they
roam
Job
stood
before
his
children,
interceding
on
his
knees
Keeping
watch
upon
their
spirits
like
a
guardian
of
the
trees
He
didn’
t
turn
a
blind
eye,
he
didn’
t
cast
the
truth
aside
He
brought
them
to
the
Savior,
with
a
love
that
couldn’
t
hide
It’
s
a
long
road
through
the
valley,
it’
s
a
steep
climb
up
the
hill
But
the
promise
of
a
parent
is
a
vow
that
I’
ll
fulfill
I
will
teach
them
of
the
justice,
I
will
teach
them
of
the
grace
I’
ll
be
the
mirror
for
the
love
that’
s
written
on
His
face
Oh,
let
me
love
like
Job
did
when
the
fire
was
burning
low
With
a
heart
that’
s
firmly
planted
where
the
living
waters
flow
Not
the
silence
of
a
father
who
just
lets
the
wild
wind
blow
But
a
hand
upon
their
shoulder,
helpin’
grace
and
mercy
grow
Yeah,
I’
m
buildin’
up
an
altar
in
the
middle
of
our
home
So
they’
ll
always
know
the
way
back,
no
matter
where
they
roam
It
ain’
t
about
the
riches,
it
ain’
t
about
the
gold
It’
s
about
the
legacy
that’
s
waiting
to
unfold
If
I
stumble,
pick
me
up,
Lord,
keep
my
vision
sharp
and
clear
Let
my
children
hear
the
music,
let
them
cast
away
the
fear
Let
them
see
a
man
who’
s
broken
but
redeemed
by
endless
love
Sending
prayers
like
silver
arrows
to
the
kingdom
up
above
So
tonight
I’
ll
read
the
scripture
while
the
stars
begin
to
shine
Knowing
that
their
little
hearts
are
yours
before
they’
re
mine
I’
ll
be
diligent
and
steady,
I’
ll
be
patient,
I’
ll
be
true
Giving
all
I
have
to
give
in
everything
I
do
No
Eli-hearted
hiding,
no
turning
from
the
flame
I’
ll
be
the
father
that
remembers
to
honor
His
holy
name
Oh,
let
me
love
like
Job
did
when
the
fire
was
burning
low
With
a
heart
that’
s
firmly
planted
where
the
living
waters
flow
Not
the
silence
of
a
father
who
just
lets
the
wild
wind
blow
But
a
hand
upon
their
shoulder,
helpin’
grace
and
mercy
grow
Yeah,
I’
m
buildin’
up
an
altar
in
the
middle
of
our
home
So
they’
ll
always
know
the
way
back,
no
matter
where
they
roam
Yeah,
they’
ll
know
the
way
back
home
With
a
heart
that’
s
firmly
planted
Oh,
lord,
let
me
love
like
Job
Like
a
shepherd,
like
a
father
Guided
by
the
light,
yeah (
