The Way

The Way
In a lonely field I walked one morning in the rising sun
Everything was still and silent; a prayer was in my heart. I wondered
“In other lands beyond these hills, beyond my little world
How can I bring your message, and bear your light?”
Then the winds came, and the pouring rain, and I was swept away,
And your quiet voice spoke in my heart, “Just follow… I’ll show you the way.”
A path now lay before my feet and stretched beyond my sight,
And I didn’t know the days, the years, or what would lie ahead.
A running stream beneath a towering mountain, flowers, thorns, an endless journey.
Every step I took I had you there at my side.
Then the day came, when he called your name, and led you to his side
And I heard a voice speak in my heart.
Don’t stand there looking at the sky, don’t let these moments pass you by,
A tired hungry world is waiting for you.
The path is long but have no fear, rise up stand tall and dry your tears,
I’ll be right here at your side. Always.
Though the road was long we journeyed on, we followed in your footsteps,
You taught us how to find our way, and how to hear your voice.
But the day was growing older and the Sun began to hide,
And we were tired and we feared the coming night…
Then the storm came, we were all alone. You seemed so far away,
And we didn’t know where to turn…
And Thomas said, “How can we know the way?”
We don’t know where you’re going. Won’t you stay?
Can’t you see? It’s too much for me…
 “Don’t be afraid. You already know the way.”
Don’t stand there looking at the sky, don’t let these moments pass you by,
A tired hungry world is waiting for you.
The path is long but have no fear, rise up stand tall and dry your tears,
I’ll be right here at your side.
I’ll be right here at your side. You know the way.
