The Road

Oh God,
My Good Father.
When will this journey end?
The ups and downs of the road
wear on my soul and
rip me ragged.

Oh Father,
Loving Friend and King.
Am I on the right road?
This rugged path has tripped me up
and pushed me to my knees.

Oh Friend,
My Forgiving Ally.
When will I see the end?
This journey leaves me
bruised and battered.
Yet still I persevere.

Oh Ally,
My Support and Strength.
Will you lift me to my feet?
I cannot quit this race.
I wipe my blood and sweat aside.

My Strength.
Strengthen me.
