no place to lay my head

Sandi Patty

A cloud without color cloaks the dawn
As I cling to my earnest resolve
With faltering footsteps yet fire in my heart
I fight to stand up when I fall

Though the drone of defeat drums a deafening roar
And mocks each advance that I make
I refuse to retire or relinquish my hold
On the righteousness I undertake
Iââ?¬â?¢m a pilgrim of heavenââ?¬¦ this worldââ?¬â?¢s not my own
I may walk by myselfââ?¬¦ but Iââ?¬â?¢m never alone

Chorus
No place to lay my head
Like my Lord who came before
Though the birds have their nest
I have nowhere to rest
And there is no place to lay my head

The struggle is sweetness and pleasure the pain
As I walk where the Savior has been
Adversity howls down the mountain I climb
With the fury of Golgothaââ?¬â?¢s wind

The rendering of pride is the sword in my side
And surrender the nails in my hands
Down my own way of sorrows I carry my cross
On a journey thatââ?¬â?¢s just as He planned
Bearing scars of my masterââ?¬â?¢s, my heartââ?¬â?¢s near His own
I may die by myself, but Iââ?¬â?¢m never alone

Chorus
