Shadows of My Soul

The shadows of my soul
are ones I fear will show.
I've lived my life each day
chasing them away.

I have pushed and pulled
my cross in life.
Walked it through
the darkest night.

Many times I came to thee
with my love, bent my knee.
Tears today gone tomorrow
you carried away all my sorrow.

You've been there with me
my faithful friend.
Holding my hand
to the bitter end.

Only you can really know
how my story will be told.
The footprints on my dusty road
mark the Shadows of my Soul.
