Along this path of sorrow
Along this winding road
I find myself travelling
Where sorrow is unknown
Chaos calls to chaos
Below the waterfalls
All Your waves crash o’er me
I’m crushed beneath it all
But I know, I know
You remain the same
Even in, even in
My wandering
Sometimes I often wonder
If You have let me down
Why does it seem I walk alone
Where trouble finds me out
But sorrow as my company
I fix my eyes on You
Soon again I’ll praise Your name
And feel my soul renewed
A traveler never reaches
That sacred place alone
A light to always guide you
Along the narrow road
So steadily I keep my stride
Through every briar and thorn
Although my flesh will falter
My hope is in the Lord
