pathway is broken, 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 going to 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 will walk 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 own
but you never said it would be easy
you only said i'd never go alone

so when 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 your love put you through
and i will walk through the darkness if you want me to

and when i cross that silver jordan, gonna sing, gonna shout
going to look into your eyes and see you've never let me down
so take me on the pathway that leads me home to you
and i will walk through the valley if you want me to

great, great song. reminds me that life is not easy and the things we are called to are not always easy, but God promises that he will be with us every step of the way and will give us the strength to go forward. that is the kind of strength i need right now...
