The Last Mile
Please take my hand and guide
me for I fear the journey's end
I do not know what waits for
me beyond that farthest bend
You've sheltered and protected
me along life's narrow way;
I'll trust that you'll be with me
as I meet this final day.
So often in the years gone by,
you've held me in your hand,
Through trials and bitter twists
of fate I didn't understand.
Sometimes you seemed to stretch
me just as far as I could go;
I know, dear Lord, it was your
way of helping me to grow.
Now though life's light grows
dimmer, through your grace my
doubts are gone and I need not
fear this journey, for I travel
Not alone!
