I'M NOT GONNA WALK
_____________________
I'm not gonna walk
in the ways of the devil,
or the ways of cain,
for I want to go back
home again.
I'm not gonna walk
like I did before
when I was standing
at death's door.
I'm not gonna walk
in the ways of death at all,
for I will succumb to it,
and I will fall.
I'm not gonna walk
in the ways of sin,
for I will pay for it
in the end.
I have lived a life
that was degraded to the core,
but I'm not gonna walk
that road anymore.
I'm not gonna walk a road
devoted to me,
but to the one who gave me
sweet tranquility.
I'm not gonna walk for me alone,
for I walk with the Lord
all the way home.
We walk side by side,
and in him I take consolation,
and I confide.
I'm not gonna walk
in the old ways anymore,
for he's who I'm living for.
