Life's Lonely Road

Walking along life’s lonely road,
wish there was someone to help carry my load.

Nobody seems to know the pain I feel,
or believe that these tears are real.

Surrounded by people who are thoughtless and cold,
just “get over it” I am often told.

Disappointment and pain must truly be my fate,
since there's never anyone around who can relate.

I almost at the end of my rope,
and don’t know how much longer I can cope.

I am told of a man who cares for all,
who can help if to him you call.

Not knowing at all what to say,
on bended knee I began to pray.

All my burdens and pain to him I did impart,
lovingly he mended my broken heart.

Jesus saved me and lifted me out,
so now I walk an all new route.
