[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] The road’s been long and the night’s been cold My boots are worn, my heart feels old I’ve carried more than these hands can hold And I’m afraid I might fall The wind keeps whispering through the trees Every mile brings me to my knees Lord I’m trying but I still don’t see How I can answer this call [Pre-Chorus] I don’t have the strength I don’t have the sight But I’m still standing here tonight [Chorus] Lord I don’t think I’m able To carry what You ask of me My hands shake on the table Where I bend my weary knees But if Your mercy’s steady And if Your hand will lead I’ll take the road before me If You’ll walk with me Watched good things slowly drift away I’ve knelt in dust and tried to pray But the words felt hard to find There were nights I nearly turned around Dropped my burdens on the ground Said “Lord I’m lost and I can’t be found” But somehow You stayed in my mind [Pre-Chorus] I’m just a man Made of dust and doubt But I’m still calling out [Chorus] Lord I don’t think I’m able To carry what You ask of me My hands shake on the table Where I bend my weary knees But if Your mercy’s steady And if Your hand will lead I’ll take the road before me If You’ll walk with me [Bridge] If the mountain rises high And the river’s wild and deep If the road keeps climbing sky And my soul grows tired and weak I’ll keep one foot before the other Though the path I cannot see ’Cause every step is lighter, Father When You’re walking next to me [Final Chorus] Lord I still feel unable But I’m standing where I need to be My hands shake on the table But I’m down on my weary knees And if Your mercy’s steady And if Your hand will lead I’ll take the road before me If You’ll walk with me [Outro] So I’ll take the road before me Lord… just walk with me.
