God, I want Your peace.

Please have mercy on me and give me the peace of knowing You.

I don’t know who You are anymore,

    but I know that You are all that matters.

You created the world, You give it meaning,

    and either You define its purpose or it has none.

 

Please, God Almighty, tell me who You are!

I beseech You and only You.

Only You can rescue me.

At Your feet, I lay down everything I have learned,

    and I give my entire life to You.

Take away what You will, 

    be it my joy, my friends, my family, or even my life.

But let me have You, O God.

 

Light the path that I must walk.

I don’t care how many hurdles are in the way,

    how many pits I must jump over or climb out of,

    or how many thorns I must step through.

Guide me on the right path.

If it is Islam, show me how it is true!

If it is Christianity, give me eyes to see!

Just show me which path is Yours, dear God, so I can walk in it.

Hear my voice when I call, Lord;

My heart says of you, “Seek his face!”
    Your face, Lord, I will seek.
Do not hide your face from me,
    do not turn your servant away in anger;
    you have been my helper.
Do not reject me or forsake me,
    God my Savior.
