"come, Walk the Path Beside Me"

"Deeper I would lead you
but no further would you come.
I walk the path beside you
yet you walk as though alone."

"When was it last you came to me.
When did you seek Me alone ?
When will it be only Me that you see ?
In that day when I bring you home ?"

"Come, walk the path beside Me.
Come, commune with Me alone.
Then, My Life shining out from You will be
Hope to a world that has none."

The world does in fact have hope and it exists through the people such as yourself that spread the word, the joy, the faith that you so well speak of. Lovely verses as they really serve to be inpsirational and spiritual. Michael

Wonderful read, could have several meanings, could be Jesus or God talking. Could be a friend that wants to be the love and protector. simple beautiful, nice work. Keep writing Judy Riley
