You Walk in Lonely Places Songtext

von Michael Card

When they told you of the Baptist
Of what Herod's men had done
You fled into the wilderness
You fled to be alone
And you grieved the world's cruelty
You knew in flesh and bone
The heartache of "mistreated"
And the sorrow of "alone"

Lord you walked in lonely places
Oh you felt our emptiness
Lord you walked in lonely places
To know the pain of man

In Gethsemane you struggled
Just to make it through the night
You called on those who loved you
But weren't ready for the fight
And you pleaded as they slumbered on
You knew in breath and blood
The heartache of "abandoned"
And the suffering of "one"

Lord you walked in lonely places
Oh you felt our emptiness
Lord you walked in lonely places
To know the pain of man

And in my darkest hours
I call upon Your name, oh Lord
And You come into the solitude
Of what I cannot face alone
Of what I cannot face alone

Lord you walked in lonely places
Oh you felt our emptiness
Lord you walked in lonely places
To know the pain of man
Lord you walked in lonely places
To know the pain of man
