Move On

The evening light is fading,
A darker canvas shading,
My vast horizon shrinks and vanishes . . .
The deepness all-pervading,
Hopelessness starts invading,
And though my grounding sinks and falls away,
I hear Him say . . .

CHORUS
Move on, do not fear the dark before you.
Move on, I will provide for every need.
Move on, move on! I understand.
And if you are frightened, reach, and I will hold your hand.

“My Lord, I will not make it,”
I cry, “My hand, God, take it!”
A desperate lunge toward empty shadows and . . .
Though I cannot forsake it,
This darkness, You can break it,
The dawn will bring the clarity of day.
I hear You say . . .

BRIDGE
Move on, move on, I cannot stop,
Or else these fears will freeze me
Move on, move on, I cannot stop
Or else these fears will freeze my faith

Not Alone

Yesterday, Mike and I celebrated three years of marriage. I love him.



I travel, I travel, this pathway called life,
The only quest I have known.
And though I must walk on the edge of a knife,
I do not travel alone.
I travel, I travel this path as a wife;
I do not travel alone.

The banshees, the worries, may wail and moan,
The specters may visit at night,
The sirens’ temptations hypnotically drone--
You’re always holding me tight.
Into your arms I have trustingly flown,
I’m always holding you tight.

I travel, I travel here, day after day
How difficult travel has grown!
Even if giants are blocking my way
I do not face them alone.
Come what troubles and trials that may;
I do not face them alone.
