Walking down the lonely road of life

Walking down the lonely road of life!

A poem of hope.

I walk along the lonely road of life, 

To find the light of hope and peace.

Each step I take is a challenge to me,

When will I find the answer I need?

Tonight is dark the noises bring fear,

Who is there I think as shadows appear.

Is it the unknown that comes upon me,

Or the weakness within that hushes my soul?

O Answer me O Lord my God,

Give to my fears a touch of hope.

Walk with me as I sojourn the dark,

Touch my emptiness from the sin within.

Remove my blindness to your mercy,

Clothe the nakedness that hides me.

Place your grace that opens my faith, 

Let the light of your holiness envelop me.

I walk along the friendly road of life, 

I found the light that is your love.

Each step reveals the answer of life,

The hope for me is Christ the Lord.
