Jesus Walked This Lonesome Valley

Jesus walked this lonesome valley
He had to walk it by himself
Nobody else could walk it for him
He had to walk it by himself

I read in the Bible about the Lord
How he healed the sick and he helped the poor
He showed his love in every cause
Even when hung upon a wooden cross

Jesus walked this lonesome valley …

Now, Jesus was God, but also a man
who had to finish what he began
And though he was tired, afraid and ill
he just had to do his father’s will

Jesus walked this lonesome valley …

Now, God has a plan for you and me
Containing both richness and poverty
To take it or leave it we’ve got to choose
See what we gain and see what we lose

We’ve got to walk this lonesome valley …

So as you’re going, be sure to know
That Jesus walks with you where you go
Doing the walking on your own
You may be lonely, but never alone

You’ve got to walk this lonesome valley …
