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

THE BEAUTY IN GOD'S WOODS

SOME TIMES WHEN I LOOK OUT MY
WINDOW I SEE THIS LITTLE BEAR
HE MUST BE ALL ALONE NOW
THERE IS NO ONE WITH HIM THERE

I WONDER IF HE’S LONESOME
HE SEEMS FRIGHTEN HERE SOME TIME
HE WONDERS OFF HERE AND THERE
TO SEE WHAT HE CAN FIND

HE LOOKS INTO THE FEEDERS
HE LOOKS THERE AND EVERY WHERE
NO FOOD IS LEFT FOR HIM TODAY
MY HEART FILLS WITH LOVING CARE

I KNOW EVERYTHING THE LORD
PUT HERE THE REASON’S ARE HIS OWN
WHEN I LOOK OUT THERE IN THE WOODS
I SEE THE BEAUTY GOD HAS SHOWN

REMEMBER GOD CREATED THEM
THE BEAR THE DEER AND ALL
WE WAIT TO HEAR THE SOUND GOD
GAVE TO ALL THAT COME TO CALL
