Once
when
the
way
became
so
dark,
I
strayed
away
from
Him;
I
thought
that
He
no
longer
cared,
My
vision
somewhat
dim.
I
almost
turned
my
back
on
God,
But
then
I
heard
Him
say,
"Return
to
Me,
my
precious
child;
I'll
brighten
up
the
way.
"Just
take
my
hand
and
trust
in
Me
Through
all
your
stress
and
strife;
I'll
be
your
helpmate
if
you
ask,
I'll
straighten
out
your
life."
Somehow
I
knew
on
that
glad
day
That
God
was
always
there,
Just
waiting
patiently
for
me
To
come
to
Him
in
prayer.
He
is
the
Shepherd
of
us
all,
And
we
are
all
His
sheep.
If
we
but
listen
to
His
call,
He'll
comfort
when
we
weep.
And
though
we
fail
to
heed
His
word,
Forget
that
He
is
there,
He
never
wanders
from
His
herd
But
keeps
them
in
His
care.
So
when
you
think
you
can't
go
on,
The
road's
too
hard
to
trod,
Just
call
on
Him;
no
one's
alone
Who
seeks
the
loving
God.
