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 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 sufferin Your love put you through
And I will go through the valley
If You want me to.

-Ginny Owens, If You want me to

This is one of my songs of courage whenever I'm feeling down and weak. In the midst of madness as I try to get out of grad school and deal with the complications of life, all I have left is God. I can't understand what and why God is planning things the way He does but I will see it all clearly one day. Lord Jesus went through the worst trial and sufferings known to men but He did it because He knew of the joy that would come in the end. I know He will be with me as I keep pushing forward and patiently wait for the end. I know it'll be worth the pain and wait.
