Strength for the Journey

There is a road meant for you to travel.

Narrow and steep is the shepherd’s way,

and as you say, "Yes", letting me guide you,

I will be strength for the journey.

There is a cross meant for you to carry.

There is a cross meant for you alone,

and as you bow down in humble surrender,

I will be strength for the journey.
