Hand on the Way

Verse 1
I prayed for roads that didn’t rise,
For easy days and softer nights,
Asked Heaven just to clear the way,
But the ground kept climbing anyway.
I learned real quick faith ain’t free,
It costs you tears and broken knees,
But every step I thought I’d fall,
Something stronger answered the call.

Pre-Chorus
I asked for peace, I asked for signs,
He gave me grit and better spine,
Didn’t erase the price I’d pay,
Just showed me how to face the weight.

Chorus
He didn’t move the mountain, no,
He gave me strength to climb,
Put courage in my shaking legs,
Hope in this heart of mine.
And when the road got lonely,
When I couldn’t stand the pain,
He didn’t leave me walking blind—
He put a hand in mine on the way.

Verse 2
I’ve carried doubt like extra weight,
Heard every voice that screamed “too late,”
But grace don’t shout, it speaks real low,
Says “child, just breathe and take it slow.”
Some prayers don’t come the way you think,
They come disguised as time to heal,
And every scar I tried to hide
Turned into proof I’m still alive.

Pre-Chorus
I wanted out, He wanted growth,
I wanted less, He gave me both,
The climb hurt bad, but I can say
I’m not who I was yesterday.

Chorus
He didn’t move the mountain, no,
He gave me strength to climb,
Put courage in my shaking legs,
Hope in this heart of mine.
And when the road got lonely,
When I couldn’t stand the pain,
He didn’t leave me walking blind—
He put a hand in mine on the way.

Bridge (build it, then drop)
If you’re staring at a wall of stone,
Thinking you’re the only one alone,
Listen close, don’t lose your faith—
You’re being shaped, not pushed away.
Every step is holy ground,
Even when you’re breaking down.

Final Chorus (bigger, lift it)
He didn’t move the mountain, no,
He gave me strength to climb,
Turned my fear into a weapon,
Turned my weakness into light.
And when I reach the other side,
I’ll know what made me brave—
It wasn’t just the strength to stand…
It was the hand I held on the way.

Outro
So if the mountain’s still in view,
Don’t think God forgot about you.
The climb is proof you’re not alone—
You were never meant to do it on your own
