THIS LONELY ROAD

AS I WALKED DOWN OUR LONELY ROAD
I’M .ALONE IT SEEMED TO ME
THE BIRDS WERE SINGING ALL AROUND
I THOUGHT HOW BEAUTIFUL THINGS CAN BE

THE TREES WERE SWAYING IN THE BREEZE
I THOUGHT THAT WILL COOL THIS DAY
AS I WALKED ON AND ON MY LONELY ROAD
I THOUGHT THIS HAS TO BE GOD’S WAY

I LOOKED BACK AND SAW THIS LITTLE FAWN
IT RAN INTO THE WOODS WITH MOM
HOW CAN YOU SEE ALL THESE THINGS
FROM THE PLACE WHERE I MOVED FROM

SOMETIMES I DIDN’T KNOW WHY I CAME
WHY THE LORD PLACED ME RIGHT HERE
THEN I THINK WHAT A BLESSING IT IS
TO HAVE GOD’S NATURE BE SO NEAR

SO I THANK THE LORD WHEN I TAKE
THIS WALK
DOWN THIS LONELY ROAD AGAIN
FOR ALL THE THINGS I SEE AND DO
FOR THE PEACE I HAVE WITH IN
