Although Neil Young did not likely mean it this way, to me these lyrics can easily be interpreted as one talking to God. In the first three lines, he is essentially saying thank you to God for giving him His unconditional love, strength, and faith. Then he's asking God to walk the journey of life with him b/c he doesn't want to/can't do it alone.

Very simple but powerful song.
