I am weary from my journey
and the lights have grown dim
around me.
My cross is heavy and the
mountain is steep.
Often times I fall,
but only to my knees.
That is where the Lord catches me.
When I think i can go no further,
He takes my hand.
He tells me,

"Child, we walk together
down the straight and narrow path."

Though i bear the scars of
many battles, and there are a
few more I must fight,
I know that soon I will be
over the mountain into a land
of eternal light.
At the chilly banks of the Jordan,
that is where I will
put my cross down,
I will wade into the water and
come out to claim my crown.
In a new body free from sorrow,
I will walk straight and upright.
In the Lord's divine presence
I shall praise Him 10, 000 years
for taking the time
to be my guide.
