I WILL ROAM

I cry myself to sleep

Behind closed doors I weep

But I make it day by day

God you have showed me the way

I feel the pain, hurt & sorrow

Because of You, I live for tomorrow

You give me the strength I need to live

In my heart I feel the peace You give

You taught me to be loving, forgiving & kind

The good in people I strive to find

My loved one is with You

I look forward to the day when I am too

On this earth I will try & live by Your word

Your message I have heard

Until the day I come home

As Your messenger in this world

I WILL ROAM
