First Walk

I feel alone Lord though I know you are very near
I feel you sitting beside me listening to my prayer
Though this time has come that I must walk in faith
Though this time has come that I may be tempted to walk away
You have taught me much that I may be ready for this day
Lord you are my home my heart my very breath of life
You give all to me you are the strength that breaks through all strife
Lord you have called me into your heart that I may be shown
You have called me into you flock that I may follow you home
I walk now taking my first steps on my own
I am wobbly on these feet these legs now full grown
But I know always that I am not alone
I feel your voice though it is not heard in this present time
I go back to each lesson you taught me for I am no longer young and blind
I must walk with the fullness of your faith to guide me through these days
I will journey on though I may be tired and weak by your heart I am saved
You had mercy for my mistakes you taught me right from wrong
With each lesson learned through your loving fire I have been made strong
I will walk along this path I may even trip and fall
But I know you are looking upon me as I get back onto my feet and persevere to
Answer your call
I may feel slightly lost until I search my heart for your face
I may be a bit unsure of this solitude but I will trust in your grace
I may not hear you presently as you have to let me go
To see if I will stay with you if I will trust in our love that has grown
Now I must walk but I know I am not alone
Into this darkness within this solitude that is only without your voice
Into this deep dark cavern where I must walk by my own choice
I will keep going as I trust you will never leave me behind
I will walk knowing you will in this darkness shine
Although I cannot hear I remember your presence and your word
So although you have sent me onto this dark shore
I will still walk with you in my heart the same as before
You are my Lord I trust you know my hearts strength
You would not have sent me if you thought I would have no defense
I will walk stronger as I make my way back to you
I will walk with this new heart that you have gifted with your truth
I will walk onwards as patiently as I can
I will walk through this darkness and reach out into the light to hold your hand
