Lyrics from Sara Groves

Sara Groves is an artist who is insightful and poignant in her songwriting. Her thoughts through song pierce my soul and minister to my heart. This song, which I heard for the first time yesterday, is no exception:

"This Journey Is My Own"

When I stand before the Lord, I'll be standing alone. This journey is my own. Still I want man's advice, and I need man's approval, but this journey is my own. .

Chorus: Why would I want to live for man and pay the highest price? What would it mean to gain the world, only to lose my life?

So much of what I do is to make a good impression. This journey is my own. So much of what I say is to make myself look better. This journey is my own. Chorus

I have never felt relief like I feel it right now. This journey is my own. 'Cause trying to please the world it was breaking me down, it was breaking me down. Now I live and I breathe for an audience of one, now I live and I breath for an audience of one. Now I live and I breathe for an audience of one, 'cause I know this journey is my own. Chorus

You can live for someone else, and it will only bring you pain. I can't even judge myself. Only the Lord can say, "Well done."

Thank you, Lord for those who point me to your truth and challenge me in my faith to press on towards the goal YOU have for me.
