The Journey

The Journey:

This journey has many obstacles, and bumps along the way.
Many prayers to God above we often have to say. 
Our minds lead us in some directions that are not true, 
But God is always there and loves me and you. 

God will direct our paths along the way, 
If, we will just listen to His word and what it has to say.
We are only human and sin many times will sneak in,
And times we must kneel and pray to God again. 

When you met the Lord, and allowed Him into your life,
He promised to help us through, and all our troubles and strife.
You must believe that you’re never alone walking with God, 
And keeping your feet planted strongly upon the sod. 

Life has a way of troubling us, and letting in a small time of fear, 
But don’t forget to call upon God – and He can wipe away the tears.
Nothing is to big, or small for our wonderful God above, 
He even laid His life down for us – all because of love. 

So when life seems to crash, and darkness is all around, 
Call upon our Lords name and stand upon your ground. 
He can wipe away all the tears, and calm our every fear, 
For when you call upon His name He will always listen, He will always hear. 

You’re never alone – when you walk with God and prayer to Him each day, 
For all our debts in sin, He has taken care of – and with His life did pay.
So matter what things may look like, and how hard they may be, 
God will take care of us – and love for you and me. 

Do not be discouraged; do not let your storm settle in your heart, 
For God has promised to walk, and run the race in each and every part.
He lights our path, and directs our lives from the word we read, 
And our prayers we grow each day as though a planting of the seed.

So when life seems to crash and darkness is all around, 
Call upon our Lords name and stand upon your ground. 
He can wipe away all the tears, and calm our every fear, 
For when you call upon His name He will always listen, He will always hear.
