064 A Prayer For Travelers

Oh Lord, protect the travelers
Bless them on their way
Guard them from the evil one
And keep, oh keep them safe
From harm that could befall them
From accidents unseen
From dangers all around them
Wherever they may be

Oh, Father go before them
Lord, prepare their way
Set a guard behind them
And keep, oh keep them safe
From fears that rise within them
From all anxiety
From doubting their Provider
Whatever they may need

Oh keep them safe
Keep them safe
Keep them safe
Keep them safe in Jesus’ name
Keep them safe
Keep them safe
Keep them in Jesus

Oh, Savior please go with them
And be with them always
Direct their every footstep
And keep, oh keep them safe
From perils in the darkness
From every enemy
From now until forever
Wherever You may lead

Oh keep them safe
Keep them safe
Keep them safe
Keep them safe in Jesus’ name
Keep them safe
Keep them safe
Keep them in Jesus

Keep them safe
Keep them safe
Keep them safe
Keep them safe in Jesus’ name
Oh, keep them safe
Keep them safe
Keep them in Jesus’ name

Supporting Texts

Then I proclaimed a fast there at the river of Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God to seek from Him a safe journey for us, our little ones, and all our possessions. For I was ashamed to request from the king troops and horsemen to protect us from the enemy on the way, because we had said to the king, “The hand of our God is favorably disposed to all those who seek Him, but His power and His anger are against all those who forsake Him.” So we fasted and sought our God concerning this matter, and He listened to our entreaty.
Ezra 8:21-23 NASB95

“While I was with them, I was keeping them in Your name which You have given Me; and I guarded them and not one of them perished but the son of perdition, so that the Scripture would be fulfilled.
John 17:12 NASB95

teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
Matthew 28:20 NASB95
