The Lonleliest Walk of Our Life

I know I just posted lyrics to a song last time in my post, but I'm going to do it again! My mom gave me this *David Osmond* CD and I was so skeptical about it at first, but now, I LOVE IT!
It's not like the churchy music you hear on EFY CDs or anything like that, but it still has a good message.
One of my favorite songs is called the Loneliest Walk. The Lyrics are so good and remind me of how amazing the Atonement is. The Atonement truly can heal us and help us through our trials. I am the first to admit, I hate going through hard things, and I find it easy to complain. But when we have the Atonement in our focus, the trial seems rewarding. I feel such a strength from trials when I utilize the Atonement.
It's so hard to remember my Savior throughout the day, but listening to music like this has helped me try to be more Christ-Centered.


"She pushes 'L' on that old elevator door
Her heart is broken, arms are bare
The doors are closing and she's staring at the floor
There's still a piece of her up there

It seems like yesterday she saw him on the screen
Painted a room and picked out names
But now she has to leave him under big machines
To keep alive his tiny frame
She's on the way to her car but it's never felt this far

With each step she takes there's another to follow
And one more ache, one more tear to swallow
She's gotta keep moving,
Forget about the bruising inside
Through the loneliest walk of her life

He pushes up his glasses, staring at her name
One last time before he leaves
He saw this coming but to see it now, engraved
It's still so hard to believe

It seems like yesterday they kissed and made their vows
Her favorite flowers in her hair
He's staying later than they normally allow
Clutching those flowers in a prayer
And on the way to their front door, no hand to hold there anymore

With each step he takes there's another to follow
And one more ache, one more tear to swallow
He's gotta keep moving,
Forget about the bruising inside
Through the loneliest walk of his life

He pushes up the board they've tied onto his shoulders
He bears, with dignity, disgrace
He hears the jeering and the wind is getting colder
Tastes the blood upon his face

His body bruised an back still open from the scourges
The consequence of wicked men
He knows no man on earth has ever deserved this
But still He bears it all for them
And He keeps moving up the hill to do His Father's will

With each step He takes there's another to follow
And one more ache, one more tear to swallow
We all stand by and watch as the price is paid
Through the loneliest walk of His life
So we don't feel alone in the night
We can have His hand holding the light
Through the loneliest walk of our lives.

Keep pushing through this lonely walk you're going through
'Cause someone's walked this way before
