Path Of Faith

 

1

The biting wind strikes us right in the face,

Night spreads its shadows afar,

Yet through the wild weather, by God's saving grace,

Faith guides us down from a star.

2

Sharp thorns catch our garments and tear as we go,

Stones lie along the steep way,

Hills, pits, and sharp turns that are heavy with woe

Mark out our life every day.

[Chorus]

What yesterday felt like the very dead end,

Tomorrow will open anew and extend,

And even the stones that are hurting so score

Are placed by God as we climb evermore.

3

Every hard fall brings experience near,

None of our sorrow is vain,

Yet the Almighty, who stays to draw clear,

Teaches to stand through the rain.

4

Every dark storm leaves a trace on our mind,

Every anxiety heals,

Yet through the tempests and trials behind,

Firmer the footstep now feels.

[Chorus]

5

We do not ask: "How much longer to stay?"

Knowing we walk by His grace,

Even when pain tries to block out our way,

Faith finds a heavenly place.

6

Far past the horizon the storm dies away,

Troubles at last find their bound,

Just as He promised for you and today,

Rest for the soul will be found.

[Chorus]
