Not Alone

I cannot walk alone,
dear Lord without the
touch of Your hand.

My legs are weak and
I'm afraid, but I know
You understand.

When I reach out for You,
dear Lord, I always
find You there.

And You will renew
my strength, when I
come to You in prayer.

You've given me many
blessings, Lord,
including a heart that sings.

and as I walk in Your
shadow, I am safe beneath
Your wings.

In my distress I cried,
dear Lord, and I know
You heard my plea.

You said, "dear child,
take my hand," and
 "Fear not, but come unto me."

I know I need not fear,
dear Lord, for You call me
by my name.

You'll walk with me
all the way, and help me
to not dismay.
