As I drew in my first breath of life,
Being born into this world
That day so long ago
I came alone.

As a small child saying "good night" prayers
Under the watchful eyes of my Mother
Kneeling there beside my bed.
I came alone.

Through my adolescent years
As I grew and I learned.
When things went wrong
It was to you I turned
I came 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 came 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 came 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 came 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'll come alone.
