He leads me in the ways of truth,
a foreigner like Moab Ruth
who journeys to the promised land
as she accepts His guiding hand.
"Entreat me not to leave," Ruth pleads
then follows where Naomi leads.
Her faithful heart will understand
as she accepts His guiding hand.
And just like Ruth, I'm in His care.
He knows my needs and hears my prayer.
I am so small, His plan so grand,
as I accept His guiding hand.
He leads me in the ways of truth
as I accept His guiding hand.

Author Notes
The Kyrielle Sonnet combines features of the Kyrielle and the Sonnet. Like the sonnet, it has 14 lines. Like a Kyrielle, each line has 8 syllables and each quatrain has a refrain line. The final couplet is made by combining the first line of the poem and the refrain. I slightly modified the refrain line in the final stanza and couplet.
Thank you Angelheart for the loan of the artwork, "Prayer For Strength".
