Each Time We Go a Stray

I know He'll guide our feet I know He'll light our way I know He'll gently lead us back Each time we go a stray There are times in life we stumble We falter and we fail We feel that no one understands We feel that no one cares We start to go our own way We question God and cry We wonder what's the point of life Why should we even try We know we shouldn't look at The places from our past But it's right there in Jesus hands Our burdens we should cast He tells us in His Holy Word He's always by our side He'll never leave us lonely But with us will abide If only we'll rely on Him Through each and every day We'll be surrounded by his love And hear Him gently say My child, I'll guide your feet And I will light your way I'll gently lead you back to Me Each time you go a stray

Inspired! A few of my pieces have religious overtones too.
