YOU NEVER WALK ALONE
You never walk alone, my Mom Though you may think you do For in your sorrow and despair God always walk with you.
There is no hour, no passing day He is not by your side
And though unseen H e's still there To be your friend and guide
Tenever you think you walk alone Reach out and you will find
The ham God to show the way And bring you peace of mind.
