"Just a Pencil-stroke Away by Janet Martin © 2009

Just a pencil-stroke away Are many things that I could say A swish, a swirl, a line and then A message to be read by men So before I write I'll pray Teach me Lord, what I should say Guide my hand Lord, guide my pen So You may speak through me to men I would never care to write Just to bring a brief delight But let it be my one desire To write, dear Lord, what You inspire Let me seek to glorify You, oh Lord in Heaven high Let me seek to bring you praise Exalt You King, with all my days Just a pencil-stroke away Are many things that I could say Words to help or make men stumble Words to keep us kind and humble So as I pick up my pen First I'll pray to God and then I'll trust that He will guide my hand So I can write what He has planned
