This Journey Is My Own

Sara Groves · Conversations [2001]

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

This journey is my own



Why would I want to live for man, and pay the highest price

What does it mean to gain a whole world, only to lose my life



So much of what I do is to make a good impression

This journey is my own

And so much of what I say is to make myself look better

But this journey is my own



And why would I want to live for man, and pay the highest price

And what does it mean to gain a whole world, only to lose my life



And I have never felt relief like I feel it right now

This journey is my own

Cuz trying to please the world, it was breaking me down

It was breaking me down



And now I live and I breathe for an audience of one

Now I live and I breathe for an audience of one

Now I live and I breathe for an audience of one

Cuz I know this journey is my own



And why would I want to live for man, and pay the highest price

And what does it mean to gain a whole world, only to lose my life

And 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.'



Oh, this journey is my own
