"I'm worried now but I won't be worried long." Loved that hook. The vibe of this song is wonderful too. This is my favorite so far. Did you write it?

Roads
Written by Abbey and Miguel

Faith is what I need 
To get to where You called me if only I just believe 
Grace surrounding me 
Every step I take I can feel Your hand guiding me 
You will go wherever I go 
You will go wherever I go 

Where I'm going they don't make roads 
But I'm going the right way though 
How I know it yea I just know 
That I'm going the right way 
It's just the way that it's gonna be 
That is where I'm going 
Where I'm going they don't make roads 
But I'm going the right way though 
  
You help me to see 
Anything I'm facing is nothing if You're with me 
Streets ahead of me 
You know where You're going and that's where You're taking me 
You will go wherever I go 
You will go wherever I go 

Where I'm going they don't make roads 
But I'm going the right way though 
How I know it yea I just know 
That I'm going the right way 
It's just the way that it's gonna be 
That is where I'm going 
Where I'm going they don't make roads 
But I'm going the right way though

I see a light in the night keep it bright so that I 
I keep going Your way 
I see a light in the night keep it bright so that I 
I keep going 
I see a light in the night keep it bright so that I 
I keep going Your way 
I see a light in the night keep it bright 

Where I'm going they don't make roads  
But I'm going the right way though  
How I know it yea I just know  
I'm going the right way  
It's just the way that it's gonna be  
That is where I'm going  
Where I'm going they don't make roads  
But I'm going the right way though

I wanted to write something with a sort-of neo 1930's blues feel. It's a simple song with a simple but timely message, and a little nod to Worried Man Blues (public domain).  See the lyric video on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdBhoitLzbI

I Will Arise 2023

Just Like You Promised
Written by Abbey and Miguel

Wake up get up it's time to go 
Get away go right now 
There's just so much I wanna know 
All Your ways and just how 
Cause where You lead me I will follow 
You are the Way the Truth the Light 
Where You lead me I will follow 
You are the Way the Truth the Light 

Faith moves mountains 
Faith moves mountains I know it 
Faith moves mountains, Faith moves mountains 
Faith moves mountains I know it 
Faith moves mountains 

All fear all doubt has been removed 
Show the way I will move 
Faith is my strength for things unseen 
I will trust I'll believe 
Cause where You lead me I will follow 
You are the Way the Truth the Light 
Where You lead me I will follow 
You are the Way the Truth and the Light 

Faith moves mountains 
Faith moves mountains I know it 
Faith moves mountains, Faith moves mountains 
Faith moves mountains I know it 
Faith moves mountains 

No turning back I'm looking ahead 
My life will be what You have said 
Just like You promised 
No turning back I'm looking ahead 
My life will be what You have said 
Just like You promised 
No turning back I'm looking ahead 
My life will be what You have said 
Just like You promised 

Faith moves mountains 
Faith moves mountains I know it 
Faith moves mountains, Faith moves mountains 
Faith moves mountains I know it 
Faith moves mountains 

No turning back I'm looking ahead 
My life will be what You have said 
Just like You promised 
No turning back I'm looking ahead 
My life will be what You have said 
Just like You promised, Just like You promised 
Just like You promised

Just Like You Promised

I decided to try a DADGAD version of this hymn.

Leaning

The Wood From Jesus’ Cross

I wonder what they did with The Wood From Jesus’ Cross
Did they burn it, did they build it… into something that lived on
Did it end up in the stern of the ship that carried Paul
That held him as a prisoner bound in chains
Did it end up petrified and become the cornerstone
Of every church erected in his name
Or did it end up in the hands of a carpenter
Become his best and final work… upon this earth
Was it saved or was it lost 
I wonder what they did with The Wood From Jesus’ Cross

Did it kindle an ember, did it spark a burning flame
Did it stoke a raging fire, that still burns til this day
Did it carry the blood of Jesus and all our sins in its stains 
Did it light the way to glory from the grave 
Was it saved or was it lost 
I wonder what they did with The Wood From Jesus’ Cross

I wonder what they did with The Wood From Jesus’ Cross
Did they burn it, did they build it… into something that lived on

Did it kindle an ember, did it spark a burning flame
Did it stoke a raging fire, that still burns til this day
Did it carry the blood of Jesus and all our sins in its stains 
Did it light the way to glory from the grave 
Was it saved or was it lost 
I wonder what they did with The Wood From Jesus’ Cross
