Though None Go With Me

Though None Go with Me
By Sharon Byrd

 The day ahead before me,

And the past to my rear,

I put on Ephesians armor,

My travelling gear.

The first step began

When You called me by name.

You drew me away,

Claiming my soul was claimed.

Though none go with me,

Still I will go,

Not knowing the direction

But knowing You know.

Not understanding the cost

Of Your sweet sacrifice

Or the decisions You give me

With Holy Spirit advice.

As soon as I reached out,

You walked right beside me,

Never to leave was Your promise,

Your Spirit to guide me.

I knew I had to take

That first step alone,

The first step toward You

And to my journey home.

With my hand in Yours

You pulled me along,

Then pushed me ahead gently

As I began to grow strong.

My strength was my weakness,

This I learned when I tried

To scheme and control,

And get what I wanted with lies.

When I confessed

You forgave me,

And continued to draw.

Though none stood beside me,

You stood closer than them all.

Through troubles and mountains,

Through valleys of pain,

Through summer and winter,

Through snow and through rain.

When my head was down low,

You lifted me up,

You dragged me through happiness,

Through mire, and muck.

As my mind was renewed

And allowed You who is all wise,

I learned alone I could not stand

And I soon would realize

To stand on my own was

Something I could never accomplish,

Your grand design and plan

Was and is always about this.

Though none go with me,

I know I still will follow,

Yesterday, today,

Right now, and tomorrow.

I have made up my mind to follow

You, Jesus Christ.

Though none go with me,

I still give You my life.

Even if no one goes with me.
