It wasn’t always easy to go the extra mile
To hold your hand or hug you
Or wear for you a smile
Through nights of tears, to stay awake, sometimes seemed so hard
To sort through troubles inch by inch
Seemed more like yards and yards
But Jesus said, “Hang in there Robin, I need you to obey,
Give this one my love
For she needs you much today.
I will be there too, and together we will teach
Then I have others for you to love
And many goals for you to reach.”
“Ok Lord”, I said through tears my own, “but I am lonely too”
“Do for these”, he replied with a hug
“Then I shall do for you.”
So I stood up tall and took his hand, I said, “ok Lord – let’s go”
We marched together day by day
Little did you know
As I had all the answers to your problems and they faded away fast
It was really He who guided me
And threw your troubles past
For I know not what the future holds in store for me you see
My problems seem so great sometimes
I think, “where can He be?”
But I know because I love you in my heart and always will
That He will always guide me inch by inch
Or hill by hill
He told me not to judge you, or so I would be judged
So instead I truly loved you
As up your hills we trudged
I tried not to give opinions that would lead you to dismay
But asked Him to answer through me
And help me lead the way
As you thank me for all the things that I have done for you
I would like to ask only one thing
Please thank Jesus too.
