Wherever I Go

Surrounded by the walls closing in on me

Crushed beneath the weight of missed opportunity

Rehearsing my mistakes and all the could have beens

Wish that I could run away from all the mess I’m in

But wherever I go, there I am again

Each time I try to change I end up back where I begin

And it’s a long and lonely road for me

Nothing as far as the eye can see

Just wandering aimlessly through a sea of sand

Do I dare believe there’s a Promised Land?

Buried by regrets over what I haven’t done

Wasting time away isn’t helping anyone

But how do I escape when I feel dead inside

I want to be free, it’s not like I haven’t tried

But wherever I go, there I am again

Each time I try to change I end up back where I begin

And it’s a heavy heart full of misery to bear

Something that I can’t explain, but I take it everywhere

Just wondering what to believe when I don’t understand

Do I dare to think there’s a Promised Land?

Tortured by my thoughts and by everything I feel

I give them power over me as if they are what’s real

But Your love is waiting for me if I will receive

I don’t have to change, You only ask that I believe

For wherever I go, there You are with me

I have nothing to fear, for You are everything I need

And it’s like a new day dawning when the sky is filled with light

When I see Your Spirit rising and shining through my life

Just wonderful to be held securely in Your hand 

And finally realizing this is Your Promised Land

For wherever I go, there I am again

Forever in Your presence in a life that never ends
