Texty: 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 mans advice, and I need mans approval
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 the 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
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 the 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 the 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

I live for, I breathe for
I live for, I breathe for
I live for, I breathe for
This journey is my own
