As You Walk

As you walk down life’s pathway of trials,
Remember, God’s there by your side,
Helping you come through victoriously
As you are tossed, tempted, and tried;

For when you asked His Son to save you,
He promised that He’d carry you
Through all the tests and dilemmas
The god of this world puts you through.

So rejoice, though your path may seem rocky.
Praise Him, though your way may be rough;
For because you’re His child, He will show you;
His grace is far more than enough.

So don’t worry about your tomorrows,
And stay worn out from living each day;
Don’t fret o’er the world that surrounds you;
Just trust God to show you His Way.

I'd Never Choose to Cry 

Sept. 05, 1983

Lord, I know I would never choose to cry.
  I know I would never order pain.
I’d always choose the sunshine —
  I’d never choose the rain.
If I could have my way
  I’d never choose to cry.

Lord, I know I’d never choose
  A mountain to climb.
I know I would never choose
  The hard path.
But after I have realized
  That the times when I’ve grown strongest
Were not in fields of flowers
  But as I’ve climbed trial’s mountain,
Lord, my Lord, I will trust You
  To lead me where you choose.

Lord, my Lord,
  I will trust You every day,
For I know if I do,
  I will always win — not lose.
So, Lord, I will trust You.
  I will trust You every day.
For I know if I do,
  I will always win, not lose.
So, Lord, I will trust You.
  I will trust You very day.
