Faith Walk

I don’t know why I feel afraid,

Or why I feel alone.
I only know I feel an ache
That cuts me to the bone.  
 
I’m pretty sure I’ll be alright,
But still there is this doubt
That I might not have my whole life
Properly figured out.
 
I want to run away and hide,
But where am I to go
When I the one I’m running from.
Though, why, I still don’t know.
 
These are the times that test the soul
To see if our faith walk
Has strength enough to push on through,
Or if it’s just all talk.
 
Oh Lord, though I may quake in fear,
Or weep alone at night,
I plan to rise up rejoicing
In each tomorrow’s light.
 
My walk may not be quite as strong
As I wish it could be,
But still I rise up in Your light
And step out, faithfully.
