THE ROAD

You have walked
so many miles
and your feet
are torn and bruised
but your strength
has not left you
because he
won't abandon you

So
lift your head up
you're a child
of the king.
yes,
lift your head up
and let
the praises ring.

The road
is long and painful
but he
has walked this way before
so lift your head up
oh my child
he needs you
to walk a little more

He has provided
living water
his arms
to comfort you
when the thorns
crowd in around you
he will gently
pull you through

When the wounds are deep
and bleeding
he will
cool their burning sting
The road
is not an easy one
but you can walk it
in victory

So
lift your head up
you're a child of the king
yes,
lift your head up
and let
the praises ring

The road
is long and painful
but he
has walked this way before
so lift your head up
oh my child
he needs you
to walk a little more.
