Sara Groves – This Journey Is My Own

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
