Alone lyrics

Alone

words and music: © Irene Bom

1. Alone as a baby in a basket,
set among the reeds
Alone on the run in the desert,
crafty as a weed
Alone facing Pharaoh;
alone in the lead
Learning the steps to the dance of life;
learning to be.

2. Alone in God’s presence on the mountain,
speaking face to face
Alone as he witnessed how his people
opted out of grace
Alone as they grumbled;
alone in his rage
Learning the steps to the dance of life;
learning to pray.

BRIDGE:
It was a tough life, a rough life
But his eyes remained bright to the end
It was a tough life, a rough life
But he knew God as a friend.

3. Alone, but not forsaken;
there was always someone in the wings
Alone taught him patience,
till the pieces finally slotted in
Alone gave him options,
alone in his skin
Learning the steps to the dance of life;
learning to sing.

CODA:
Great, just and true are your ways
King of the ages
Great, just and true are your ways,
Glory to your name.
