We have traveled over many paths in our walk on earth, Since this temporal journey first began at birth; We never know what each new day may have in store, Because we have not passed this way before.
We have not passed this way before, O God, We have never seen the paths we are about to trod; We can only follow in the way that’s set by You, And seek Your will in everything we do.
You are our Light in the darkness of the night, You are our Defender in the fiercest fight; You are our Hope in the greatest of despair, You are our Comfort, for us you truly care.
You are our Guide through raging waters sailed, You are the Answer that has never failed; You are a Shelter from the storms that would do us harm; You are the Strength that lifts us with Your mighty arm.
We don’t know what our next step will bring, Whether we will grieve, or with joy will sing, But we can know that You will always be, There to guide into the future that we can’t see.
We know we have not passed this way before, Alone we can never find the heavenly shore; But through Your Word you point the way, To that bright home of endless day.
We have not passed this way before, O God, We have never seen the paths we are about to trod; We can only follow in the way that’s set by You, And seek Your will in everything we do.
