This Journey Is My Own Lyrics
Inspired by John Ortberg's The Life You've Always Wanted, and written for the NCU women's winter retreat.
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."
