Don't Let Me Walk Alone

Morning sun on a dusty road,

Boots on gravel, heart laid low,

I breathe You in, I whisper slow,

“Lord, don’t let me walk alone.”

I’ve felt the warmth of mercy’s glow,

Like porch-light love when I’m headed home,

Every step feels lighter when I know

Your grace is more than I’m worth alone.

But my shadow stretches when the night draws near,

Old habits call and I still hear.

I wanna walk straight, I wanna stay true,

But my feet get tired, and my faith does too.

It’s a beautiful thing walking in the light,

Your grace like dawn breaking through my night,

But Lord, You know how crooked I can be,

I’m scared of the man I might still see.

So hold my hand when the road gets long,

I’m weak sometimes, but You are strong.

I’ve wandered off past the fence lines before,

Chasing voices I shouldn’t ignore,

Every time You met me with open arms,

Pulled me back from my self-made harm.

Still I worry when the path gets steep,

That my promises are cheap.

I believe, Lord, help my doubt,

I wanna stay in, not wander out.

It’s a beautiful thing walking in the light,

Your grace like dawn breaking through my night,

But Lord, You know how crooked I can be,

I’m scared of the man I might still see.

So hold my hand when the road gets long,

I’m weak sometimes, but You are strong.

When my knees shake and my heart runs wild,

When I forget I’m still Your child,

Speak truth louder than my fear,

Remind me why I’m still here.

It’s a holy road though it’s narrow and rough,

I don’t always feel like I’m strong enough,

But Your mercy meets me every day,

Even when I drift, You make a way.

So I’ll keep walking, one step at a time,

Leaning on grace that’s never mine.

If I stray again, don’t let me stay,

Turn my heart back Your way.

So here I am on this winding road,

Still learning how to carry hope,

Lord, give me strength to see it through,

Every mile, I’ll walk with You.
