The Path.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>If you could feel my sorrows,
                                    Im sure that you would say.
                                    How do you make it through this life,
                                    With so much heartaches along the way.

                                    I look up towards the heaven,
                                    To Him i kneel and pray.
                                    Lord help me be strong for her,
                                    Whenever she goes astray.

                                   Help her find the right path, 
                                   Keep her from going astray.
                                   Give her the knowledge of Your wisdom,
                                   To repel the devil along the way.

                                   She is just but a little girl,
                                   Who has been through a lot already.
                                   Help her to see and overcome her fears,
                                   Make her judgements more strong and steady.

                                   Help her do the right from wrong,
                                   To walk the straight and narrow,
                                   Give her the strength to embrace Your love,
                                   As if there is no tomorrow.
