If You Want Me To

Artist: Ginny Owens
Song Title: If You Want Me To

The pathway is broken and 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 gonna walk through the valley if You want me to

Cause 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 go 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 home
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 go through the valley if You want me to

"The pathway is broken and the signs are unclear
And I don't know the reason why You brought me here"

So many questions in my head. Unanswered ones. I don't know what's happening. So many thoughts racing through my mind. Weary ones. Overwhelming me some of the time, drowning me at others. I feel lost. So many things I've kept, stored and guarded within my heart. Protected from the trespassing eyes and intruding ears of the rest of the world. But it's all dying to come out. To break free. To be liberated. To find release. To finally heal.

"But You never said it would be easy
You only said I'd never go alone"

And only He can heal like no other

for only He has never failed to protect.

I am not alone.

I don't know why it is so,
And I don't know how it will go.
I sure don't know what to expect,
But I know You're not through with me yet.
