Come walk with me and follow
down a path where flowers grow,
where tears became the nourishment,
for Love's growth within my soul.

'Twas on the road of suffering
where it seemed that all was lost,
that I gave my all to Jesus,
who died to pay the cost.

He paid the way for all of us
who might suffer in despair,
overcoming loss, by the resurrection
to show He truly cares.

'Twas on the road of suffering
that He drew me close to Him,
where tears revealed flowers
of new life found in Him.

Many years have passed,
since I offered Him my all,
and growth with Him continues
as He lifts me when I fall.

So if you feel "life's challenges"
will forever weight you down,
bring them all to Jesus,
who rose from death, to wear a crown.
