I Walk This Road Alone

I walk this road alone,
Hand in my Father's Hand.
I feel the fear and strangness
of a harsh, unfeeling land.

I sought to find my peace,
I sought to find my bliss.
But everything I ever sought
is all that I now miss.

I wanted you beside me
yet I pushed you further still.
Now I walk an empty valley,
dreading the mountain's hill.

But I walk this road alone,
Hand in my Father's Hand
Despite the fear and strangness
of this harsh, unfeeling land.

I know not the end of time,
or where this road will lead.
I know not how long I tarry,
with feet that start to bleed.

The One who leads me onward
Will lead me where He must.
Perhaps it's on to happiness,
Or perhaps I must be crushed.

So I walk this road alone,
Hand in my Father's Hand
Bearing the fear and strangness
of this harsh, unfeeling land

I've made so many wrongs,
these mistakes that I must bear.
Time will heal the brokeness,
but scars remain so bare

Because I fall and trip
When I seek my own way.
So I must choose the path
That I will walk today.

Will I walk this road alone,
Hand in my Father's Hand?
Through the fear and strangness
of a harsh, unfeeling land?

Will I wander to the left
to find that I can only kill
The things my Father gives me
to make me happy still?

Or will I stray to the right
and gather my demise,
by thinking that my happiness
lies in pain-filled eyes?

I will walk this road alone,
Hand in my Father's Hand.
And Hope, despite the fear,
despite this strange, unfeeling land.

I hope our paths converge again
and I would make you happy still.
But all I ever do is crush you
until you can no more feel.

I don't know what to say to you
I don't know what to do.
If I could have the world,
my friend, I'd ask for you.

God, help me as I walk this road,
hand nestled within your own.
Speak words of comfort to your son,
as we walk this path alone.
