If You Want Me To

This song touched my heart today in church, and I wanted to share it. Despite whatever struggle you have in your life, I think everyone can find themselves somewhere in these lyrics.

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

No 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'll 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 darkness
If You want me to

When I cross over Jordan, I'm gonna sing, gonna shout
Gonna look into your eyes and see you never let me down
So take me on the pathway that leads me home to you
And I will walk through the valley if you want me to

Yes, I will walk through the valley if you want me to

  1. This song moved me! Thanks for posting it!
    It will be really exciting if we do IVF at the same time! I'm very scared and nervous and excited and every other emotion you can think of. It will be nice to know someone else who is going through all of those emotions too!
