Even though I walk alone in the dark,
The lord is still my Sheppard, and I hold him within my heart.
Even though my wings have been clipped and I’ve fallen,
I’ll carry his word until flesh meets coffin.
Even though darkness has its grasp.
The light will endure all, and always last.
Even though my faith is sometimes abstained,
The lord is always there to give me guidance
And cure me of pain.
Even though I do not go to church,
Nor do I always pray.
The lord still speaks to me and I listen every day.
Even though I sin and I’m far from pure
The lord still loves me
And who could ask for more.

Review of 'Man on the Run'
My wife and I saw Man on the Run, a nearly 2-hour documentary on Amazon Prime, about Wings, Paul McCartney's group that flew around the world from shortly after The Beatles broke up in early 1970 to shortly after John Lennon was murdered at the end of 1980, making a Beatles reunion forever impossible.
