Dear Jesus,
I step out into this ‘New World’ unknown
Knowing not the land or its people
But knowing you reign in my affairs
And rules the heart of the kings
Working all things together for my good
I pray that you lead as you will
I and I into your purpose and will
The cold unbearable and the heat extreme
From the raging sand storm, my eyes I shield
But still I seek your face within
My tongue your tongue and language your dialect
Even Has Thou compass me as with a shield
I pray for grace to do your will
I pray for strength in this time of need
The year is over and now I am known
The land and its people my friends and home
The goods and gains and expression of expectation
Your thoughts established beyond my imagination
A year of grace and glory you granted
Let not your praise depart from my lips in pride
Let not my pride becloud your glory in me a whole
Ajuwayah Baba!
