LOST

LOST

AS I TRAVEL DOWN THIS ROAD
I CARRY SUCH A HEAVY LOAD
SOME DAYS I FEEL SO VERY LOST
IS THIS THE PATH I’VE ALREADY CROSSED?
I DON’T KNOW WHERE I AM GOING
MY IGNORANCE MUST REALLY BE SHOWING
THERE IS SUCH UNREST IN MY HEART
SOMETIMES I FIND MYSELF RIGHT BACK AT THE START
I AM ALWAYS GROPING IN THE DARK
IF ONLY I COULD FIND THE MARK
AM I DOOMED, ALWAYS TRYING TO FIND MY WAY
MAYBE I SHOULD JUST STOP AND PRAY
FOR THE LORD TO GIVE ME STRENGTH
TO TRAVEL THIS ROAD, NO MATTER THE LENGTH
HE HAS A REWARD WAITING OF ME
IF JUST THE RIGHT PATH I COULD SEE
ALL I HAVE TO DO IS FOLLOW THE LIGHT OF GOD
AND THE PATH OTHERS HAVE TROD
I SHOULD LEARN FROM OTHERS MISTAKES
CAUSE THE ROAD SOMETIMES IS FULL OF SNAKES
IF TO THE LORD MY HEART WOULD STAY TRUE
ALONG THE WAY HE WOULD GIVE ME A CLUE
ON WHICH WAY THAT I SHOULD GO
CAUSE ON MY OWN I WOULD NOT KNOW
AND THEN AT MY JOURNEYS END
ETERNITY WITH HIM I WILL SPEND.
