I don't understand this trial   I've never walked this road before   If one more step or many miles   I'll just have to trust you Lord   For there is nothing left behind me   That I could go back to   It's my desire to make this journey   So by your grace I'll make it through      Chorus:   Through the storms and through the trials   Across the desert's burning sand   You have said that you'd go with me   And give me strength to stand   Through the weeping in the darkness   When the morning sun does shine   I'll have my time of joy and gladness   Another valley left behind      I can' see a silver lining   Behind the clouds hanging o'er   And I can't seem to find the answers   To my questions anymore   You never promised me exemption   From the testing times of life   But I sure need some light for traveling   Cause Lord it sure looks dark tonight      Words and Music by Gerald Crabb
