My Journey
Yea though I walk through the valley of my soul
I am more afraid than I have ever been
Praying that I never go through this again
Fighting my way out of a world of hurt
Trying to avoid the mutt of depression
Snapping at the hem of my skirt
Trying to be more courageous than the level of fear
That's built itself up over the past year
Searching for happiness
While I'm alone in my home
Wanting to climb the mountain of righteousness
But constantly being stopped
By the tornado of sadness that engulfs me,
Sucking out my breath
Devouring my appetite
Making it that much more difficult
For my spirit to fight
People asking "Are you alright?"
As tears stream my face
Day and night
I want to survive, and I want to live
But I can't take the breath I need to take
That my life may continue from day to day
Trying to let God have his way
Is this the dues I'm forced to pay,
For not doing things his way
If that's the story, the situation
Then I surrender without hesitation.
Lord, have your way, take control
To you my life is more precious than I'll ever know.
Without you Lord I am nothing.
If these are the pains that I need to grow,
Lessons pulled from tons of sorrow
Then Reign on King Jesus,
Because there's only one way out of this pit of despair
Jesus and I can only go up from here.
