I Walked a Path

I walked a path, a path of pain and in the dirt I saw your name

Your little face was full of pain, left in the dirt to fade away to be forgotten for another day

You cried aloud for a hand of hope, nothing came, nothing changed

They all walked by me, just the same

Pick me up in your arms, I pray and hold me close for just a day

I do not know what love feels like, they put me here in the dead of the night

When I woke I was alone, my heart is broken and full of grief

I looked for someone to give me relief

I’m just a child, can you not see the dreadful pain that lives in me

Dear God in heaven will you hold me tight, will you comfort me in the night

And when I turned I saw your face, you wiped the tears from my face, and carried me to another place

I be with you for evermore, you took me through the open door

I have no tears only joy for my father who brought me home to stay in his arms

Every day no-more sorrow, no-more pain, a place to live for evermore

You see, he pulled me through the open door
