Walking This Road
I'm just walking, walking, walking this road...
I'm just walking, walking, walking this road...
I'm just taking each day one step at a time,
Keeping an eye on the things that I find.
All these stops I face don't always seem that kind,
Yet surprises abound when I open my mind
To the choices around me, right at my feet,
Placed there to help in my time of need.
Or the wonders about me, adorning my way,
Letting me know I can never stray
On this road of life God placed before me.
Yes, this road of life God made just for me.
Raising my potential, teaching new skills,
Helping me handle my daily spills
On this road of life God made just for me.
Sunshine or shadow, dry heat or rain,
Nature seems primed for pleasure and pain,
Reflecting its maker's great mystery
While framing my trail in awesome beauty.
Still the shadows about me weigh on my soul,
Hinting of dangers and unforeseen tolls
Yet in my heart His light ever shines,
Opening my eyes to His many signs
On this road of life God placed before me.
Yes, this road of life God made just for me.
Lifting my courage, wrapped in His love,
I stride forward in grace cast from above
On this road of life God made just for me.
Yet along my path I find many souls
Who choose to live by their own goals
Never learning how God's love can change a heart.
By sharing my tale along my way,
They might escape from their dismay
And seek to give themselves a brand new start!
I'm just taking each day one step at a time,
Keeping an eye on the things that I find.
All these stops I face don't always seem that kind,
Yet surprises abound when I open my mind
To the choices around me, right at my feet,
Placed there to help in my time of need.
Or the wonders about me, adorning my way,
Letting me know I can never stray
On this road of life God placed before me.
Yes, this road of life God made just for me.
Lifting my burdens, answering my prayers,
I feel Him uphold me through all of my cares
On this road of life God made just for me.
I'm just walking, walking, walking this road...
I'm just walking, walking, walking this road...
