Dirt Road Sunday

It was on a recent Sunday That I traveled a red dirt road I felt that life was too difficult I could no longer carry my load My feet were so very heavy As I trudged the red worn trail My mistakes were just too many My life I’d surely failed Oh Lord, I whispered softly Please help me find my way For my existence is too difficult I’m not sure that I can stay I closed my eyes tightly Slowed my tired pace Praying with my inner self My life I slowly traced My family has forsaken This weary traveling man Don’t know if I can find again The place where I began And then I saw ahead of me A steeple tall and straight A churchyard old and weary I slowed my tired gait The music drew me closer Amazing Grace it played If I could feel closer to Him Maybe I wouldn’t be so afraid It was in this place of worship My heart became so full Now I knew I COULD go on My worries didn’t take its tole I learned that we must not give up When our life hurts us so Take our worries to a churchyard With the help of God just let them go!
