Men-O-Pah: I am reasonably sure that you don’t know where our [[path]] will lead. It seems that I have no real words of my own to give [[expression]] to this, but I’m always quoting lines from things that I’ve read. One of the more recent ones was an anthem that was in [[church]], after the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negro_spiritual Negro spiritual style], the title of which was, “[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1FQqSGxBso When I went down to the water to pray], [[thinking]] about that good old way, how you gave us [[eternal]] life, Dear Lord show me the way.”

And from the old hymn, “Lead kindly light, amid the encircling gloom, lead thou me on. The night is [[dark]] and I am far from [[home]]. Lead thou me on. Keep thou my feet. I do not ask to see the distant scene. One step enough for me.”
