As I drew in my first breath of life
Being born into this world
That day so long ago
I come alone
As a small child saying "good night" prayers,
under the watchful eyes of my Mother
Kneeling there beside my bed
I come alone
Through my adolescent years
As I grew and I learned
When things went wrong
It was to you I turned
I come alone
When in my teens and my eyes were opened
Fully realizing I needed you in my life
guiding and directing
I knelt and asked for "forgiveness"
Surrendering my heart
I come alone
Through my times of sorrow
Through my times of pain
And I felt so lost and alone
When the storms were all about
Again I knelt down on my knees
I come alone
When the burdens in life seem heavy
And my path seems so unclear
For answers to my problems
I need to feel you near
So once again I kneel to pray
Calling out your name
I come alone
Though I've been blessed with a loving family
And many wonderful, caring friends
Their concern and kind words mean much
Ultimately, it is to you I turn in my darkest hours
Whispering, please Lord help me
Show me the way
I come alone
When my time on this earth is through
When I'm coming home to you
I want to have no regrets
I want to be settled in my heart
I don't want to look back
I want my eyes fixed on you
I come alone
