This journey I've been called to has been a winding road Sometimes I've thought I could no longer bear the load I've come to see my Savior in all His glory and His grace when on my knees before him, I fell upon my face. This earthly vessel's been battered by my circumstance I've lost my song and joy, lost my heart for dance I've doubted just as Thomas, who wanted to believe but found his heart wavered and it was easy to deceive I've wrestled with the enemy in deep dark nights Been wounded in the battle lost many of my fights My heart has been broken, shattered on the ground My life lain open for all those around Many times I struggled on this earthly path to withstand the enemy in all of his wrath I've stumbled on the slippery slopes of my fleshly pride and hidden from the truth when I've believed what Satan implied But in the midst of me - imperfect though I am Came the cleansing waters that wash as no one can That brilliant scarlet flood that cleanses every soul Sets the captive free and makes the broken whole And in my darkest hour, desperate for peace I've experienced grace and its sweet release Surrendered now I travel on this journey long with salvation as my banner and mercy as my song In myself I fail, there is no chance of victory On my own I can not enter Heavens sweet eternity But surrendered to my Savior - given to his will My feet are steadied, this anxious heart made still These things that are so hopeless, suddenly turn bright When my Savior is there to shine His holy light So all I give to him, who gave his all for me Together we'll finish this spiritual journey |
