Don't Let Me Walk Alone

[Intro]
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.”

[Verse 1]
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.

[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna walk straight, I wanna stay true,
But my feet get tired, and my faith does too.

[Chorus]
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.

[Verse 2]
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.

[Pre-Chorus]
I believe, Lord, help my doubt,
I wanna stay in, not wander out.

[Chorus]
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.

[Bridge]
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.

[Final Chorus]
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.

[Bridge]
If I stray again, don’t let me stay,
Turn my heart back Your way.

[Outro]
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.
