My Stumbling Walk

We walk together every day

Both knowing what to do,
But when the day’s end comes around
There’s me, calling to You.
 
For once again, I’ve failed to live
The life You’ve shown to me,
Yet You have stayed beside me still
And loved me faithfully.
 
I know the path that I should walk,
Though I am prone to stray,
Yet, with a patience beyond mine,
You never walk away.
 
I see myself as staying close
And walking faithfully,
But we both know I’d quickly fall
If You weren’t holding me.
 
So thank you, Lord, for being there
Beside me all the way,
For never giving up on me
And casting me away.
