[Verse 1]
If you're tired from the journey
And the road has brought you low
If you've wandered in the darkness
Which direction you should go
Lift your eyes above the sorrow
There is still a light ahead
The Lord who brought you this far
Will not leave you where you stand
[Chorus]
Keep going, child of God
Keep trusting in His grace
Though you cannot see tomorrow
He is with you all the way
When your strength is almost gone
Lean upon the Lord instead
Keep going, child of God
He will lead you safely home
[Verse 2]
There may be a season
When the answers don't appear
And the prayers you've prayed so often
Seem to disappear
But God is working in the silence
Even when you cannot see
The hand that holds tomorrow
Is the hand that carries thee
[Chorus]
Keep going, child of God
Keep trusting in His grace
Though you cannot see tomorrow
He is with you all the way
When your strength is almost gone
Lean upon the Lord instead
Keep going, child of God
He will lead you safely home
[Bridge]
Don't turn back now, don't lay your burden down in fear
The Lord has walked beside you, and He'll stay beside you here
One more step, one more prayer, one more day beneath His care
The road may not be easy, but you never walk alone
[Chorus]
Keep going, child of God
Keep trusting in His grace
Though you cannot see tomorrow
He is with you all the way
When your strength is almost gone
Lean upon the Lord instead
Keep going, child of God
He will lead you safely home
[Outro]
Keep going, child of God
The Lord is still beside you
Keep going, child of God
He will lead you safely home

Song Meaning
A worn traveler's road runs through this song from the first line, where the journey has already brought someone low and the darkness has blurred the way forward. The answer offered isn't a shortcut but a call to lift the eyes: there is still light ahead, and the Lord who brought you this far won't abandon you where you stand. The chorus turns that into a steady refrain — keep going, keep trusting grace, lean on the Lord when strength runs out — and it returns often enough to feel like a hand on the shoulder rather than a slogan. The second verse names the harder season, when answers don't come and long-repeated prayers seem to vanish, and answers with the image of God working in the silence, the hand that holds tomorrow also carrying the one who prays. The bridge presses in closest: don't turn back, don't drop the burden in fear, just one more step, one more prayer, one more day. The road is not promised to be easy, only shared. The outro settles on the same assurance, that the Lord is still beside you and will lead you safely home.
