If You Want Me To

The pathway is broken

and the signs are unclear

and I don't know the reason

why You brought me here.

But just because You love me

the way that You do

I'm gonna walk through the valley

if You want me to.

No I'm not who I was

when I took my first step

and I'm clinging to the promise

You're not through with me yet

so if all of these trials

bring me closer to You

then I'll go through the fire

if You want me to.

It may not be the way

I would have chosen

when You lead me through a world

that's not my home

but You never said it would be easy

You only said I'd never go alone.

So if the whole world turns against me
and I'm all by myself

and I can't hear You answer

my cries for help

I'll remember the suffering

You're love put You through

and I'll go through the valley

if You want me to.

I'll go through the valley

if You want me to.

**I do feel alone here, when I choose to forget Christ. I cannot do it without Him. It is impossible. I see that more and more. I want to learn how to practice His presence. Alas, even my mother reminds me often of my forgetfulness... oh Lord, have mercy on me: a human. A human who desperately needs You as she is going through the valley... Lord, please remind people to pray for me, as I also desperately need their prayers.

Lord, You know how I struggle.
