You Were There

When I was walking in pain and agony,
You were there to ease my suffering.


  When I was walking in sorrow,
You were there to comfort me.


  When I was walking without hope,
You filled my heart and soul anew.


  When I was walking alone and friendless,
You were there to hold my hand.


  When I was walking afraid and in fear,
You were there to give me courage.


  When I was weak and could not walk,
You gave me strength to stand again.


  Always, when I have walked in the shadows of life,
You have been there to lead me to sunlight.


  As I start on the path today,
Lead me, Lead me . . . I pray.
