For the Jewels in my life

I thought that I was all alone,
Broken and afraid.
But you were there with me.
Yes, you were there with me.

And I didn't even know
That I had lost my way.
But you were there with me.
Yes, you were there with me.

Until you opened up my eyes
I never knew,
That I couldn't ever make it without you.

Even though the journey's long
And I know the road is hard,
You're the One who's gone before me,
You will help me carry on.

And after all that I've been through
Now I realize the truth.
That I must go through the valley
To stand upon the mountain of God.

And as I travel on the road
That you have led me down,
You are here with me
Yes, you are here with me.

And I have need for nothing more
Now that I have found
That you are here with me,
Yes, you are here with me.

I confess from time to time
I loose my way
But you are always there to bring me back again.

Even though the journey's long,
And I know the road is hard,
Well, the One who's gone before me,
He will help me carry on.
And after all that I've been through,
Now I realize the truth,
That I must go through the valley
To stand upon the mountain of God.

Sometimes I think of where it is I've come from
And the things I've left behind
All I have and all I possess,
Nothing can quite compare with
What's in front of me,
Yea, what's in front of me

Even though the journey's long,
And I know the road is hard,
You're the One who's gone before me
You will help me carry on.
And after all that I've been through
Now I realize the truth
That I must go through the valley
To stand upon the mountain of God.

I thought that I was all alone,
Broken and afraid
But you are here with me,
You are here with me.

Yes, I must go through the valley to stand upon the mountain of God.
Third Day
