Not Alone Along the Way

You have set this rugged road before me,
Gutted here and there, flooded over some,
And You ask me to travel along the gravel;

And this new day spreads out before me,
How fine the bed of grass which now I see,
But You say ’tis not for sleep, keep pace
For you are not alone; I walk with you.’
