Lonely Traveler
Journey of Faith: Embracing Life's Struggles with BJ Stewart Band
Lyrics
I’m just a lonely traveler
I feel isolated as I journey through life
Trying to get home
I aim to find my place of belonging
I’d love to sit and stay a while
I wish to pause and stay for a bit
But I gotta press on
But I must continue forward
The road is ever winding
The path I tread is filled with twists and challenges
With rugged terrain
It's rough and difficult to traverse
I don’t know if my strength will hold
Uncertainty looms over my ability to persist
Still I press on just the same
Yet, I persist despite the difficulties
These days have turned to years
Time has passed, and I've endured
Still I survive
I've managed to survive despite the challenges
It’s not by my strength alone
My resilience isn't solely from my own efforts
That I’m getting by
I rely on more than just my strength to cope
I was born a cripple
From birth, I've faced limitations
But sometimes I forget
At times, I forget the extent of my limitations
I was not created
I wasn't meant to handle everything alone
To stand on my own just yet
Independence isn't my immediate purpose
This world can leave you lonely
This world can lead to feelings of isolation
This world can leave you broken down
It can break you down and leave you in despair
This world can make you crazy
The world's challenges can drive one to madness
And leave you spinnin’ ‘round
Causing a dizzying, disorienting effect
You can lift your hands up
Attempts to reach out might end in failure
Only to touch the floor
Efforts to seek help may seem futile
When all you want is to surrender, ‘Cause you just can’t take anymore
Sometimes, surrender seems the only option
Dear Jesus I need You
A plea for divine assistance
More today than days gone by
Today, I need spiritual support more than before
You are my forever
You are my eternal hope and longing
You are my heart’s cry
You are the deep yearning of my heart
Oh won’t You carry me Jesus
Request for assistance from Jesus
‘Cause I just can’t stand on my own
I cannot rely solely on myself
You created me crippled
My limitations are part of my existence
And I’m crippled until I am home
These limitations persist until my final destination
I’m just a lonely traveler
Reiteration of feeling isolated while journeying
Trying to get home
Continuing the quest for a place of belonging
I’d love to sit and stay a while
The desire to pause and rest, yet compelled to move forward
But I gotta press on
Reasoning for the continuous journey away from this world
‘Cause this world is not my home
Expressing the sentiment that this world is temporary
