Verse I
I don't understand this trial
I've never walked this road before
If one more step or many miles
I'll just have to trust you Lord
For there is nothing left behind me
That I could ever turn back to
It's my desire to make this journey
So by your grace I'll make it through

Chorus
Through the storms and through the trials
Across the desert's burning sand
You have said that you'd go with me
And give me strength to stand
Though weeping in the darkness
When the morning sun does shine
I'll have my time of joy and gladness
Another valley left behind

Verse II
I can't see Your silver lining
Behind the dark clouds hanging o'er
And I can't seem to find the answers
To my questions anymore
You never promised me exemption
From the testing times of life
But I sure need some light for traveling
Cause Lord it sure looks dark tonight
