“Long Trip Alone”
It’s a long trip alone over sand and stone
That lie along the road that we all must travel down
So maybe you could walk with me a while
And maybe I could rest beneath your smile
Everybody stumbles sometimes and needs a hand to hold
‘Cause it’s a long trip alone
It’s a short piece of time but just enough to find
A little peace of mind under the sun somewhere
So maybe you could walk with me a while
And maybe I could rest beneath your smile
You know we can’t afford to let one moment pass us by
‘Cause it’s a short piece of time
And I don’t know where I’d be without you here
‘Cause I’m not really me without you there
Yea Yeah
Hallelujah hallelujah oh
So maybe you could walk with me a while
Maybe I could rest beneath your smile
Everybody stumbles sometimes and needs a hand to hold
So maybe you could walk with me a while
Maybe I could rest beneath your smile
Maybe I could feel right beside you ’til I’m home
‘Cause it’s a long trip alone

A great theologian once wrote, “In nature, everything moves in direction of its hungers. In the spiritual world it is not otherwise. We gravitate toward our inward longing, provided of course, that those longings are strong enough to move on (Tozer).”
We all have a long trip over “sand and stone.” Does our thirst drive us to simple and temporal seasons of solution? Reality is that we will all move in one direction or another given our longings. Where is it that your soul is gravitating? Is it a place or person of a temporal nature, or an object of permanent and lasting sustinence? You have a choice to walk alone or rest beneath the gracious smile of the one true and living God. He created you. Allow HIM to complete you.
