AS I TRAVEL
As I travel and
try to live my
life fit to be
like You
Trying to
damper all I
say and do
Not being
perfect in any
way
Not in the
movies, nor a
screen play
With a real
heart and soul,
and a broken
heart
That have been
shattered and
torn apart
Thank You Lord,
for a new live
and a chance
To keep looking
upward, going
forward and no
backward glance
Moving along
like in a
convoy
With very few
leaders to hire
and employ
Trying to not
miss the
midnight train
And wash all my
good deeds down
the drain
Whether I be
sailing the
waters, or
flying in the
sky
There is a
message and a
reason why
I travel with a
heartfelt need
Hear my cry
and listen to
my plea
And as prayers
I send up to
Thee
Giving all the
glory, thanks
and praise
And enough love
to last the
remainder of my
days
Having a gentle
heart and a
caring way
Going on
further towards
the day
When all heaven
breaks loose
And the last
choice is for
You to choose
Whether I win
or by chance
loose
Fears and
dreads are left
behind as I go
Will
Him....Right
together as I
live and grow
The hills will
part and
mountains made
wider and
taller
In all weather,
summer, spring,
winter and
fall
There's a
beckoning call
I can already
hear
Saying "closer
Lord, I see all
clearer"
Please hold me
near
I can sense it
all just as I
should
But keep
reminding me if
You would
That a story is
not over til
the last it's
told
And I find at
the rainbow's
end with a pot
of gold
Eternal life
and with
everlasting
ease up to the
gate
Don't let me
falter and wait
too late
Winds will blow
and deep waters
flow
People will
carry a heavy
load
They also may
display a weary
frown on their
face
And be out of
place...in this
confused and
angry rat
race
The stars may
lose their
sparkle and
shine
Some may bicker
and sadly
whine
The nations may
part
There is a new
day ahead...get
ready now
You're off to a
new start
If I can crawl
on my arms and
hands
You'll know I
am taking my
rightful stand
Cause my Father
knows if I need
His help
He knows I
can't always
pace my step
