Verse I

I don't understand this trial

I've never walked this road before

If one more step or many miles

I'll just have to trust you Lord

For there is nothing left behind me

That I could go back to

It's my desire to make this journey

So by your grace I'll make it through



Chorus

Through the storms and through the trials

Across the desert's burning sand

You have said that you'd go with me

And give me strength to stand

Through the weeping in the darkness

When the morning sun does shine

I'll have my time of joy and gladness

Another valley left behind



Verse II

I can' see a silver lining

Behind the clouds hanging o'er

And I can't seem to find the answers

To my questions anymore

You never promised me exemption

From the testing times of life

But I sure need some light for traveling

Cause Lord it sure looks dark tonight
