The Gravel Path
Life is but a gravel path
occasionally strewn with flowers.
The sun's above, the earth below, there's sunshine, shadow and
showers.
We realize that each new day is fresh and fraught with challenge...
To climb the hills and mountain tops and still maintain our balance,
To wander lost on unknown roads, then seek and find our way,
To run or jump or speed along... or stumble day by day.
With Heaven's door a step away, but just beyond our grasp,
We hold on strong to Hope and Love and Faith which must not lapse.
I see the ever growing glow ...the Light I wish to meet,
If I could only rush to Him. ...but I've stones beneath my
feet...
I've stones beneath my feet.
I've traveled far since first I trod
this gravel path of life.
Through many roadblocks, large and small, I've handled pain and
strife.
I've walked through storms and flooding streams, always moving on.
I've walked through sunlight bright and warm and rainbows looked upon.
I've seen injustice, hate, and war, disease, and constant fear.
And where the worst of these held on, the Savior hovered near,
Protecting, healing, loving all, and whispering to "Come..."
"Come, let me take you home again. Come, let me take you home."
I see the ever growing glow and when the Light I meet,
He'll take me in His arms and sweep these stones from 'neath my feet...
these stones from 'neath my feet!
He'll set my feet on grassy paths
where soft the heather grows.
He'll hold me close and comfort me with a love like no one knows.
His voice will sing like violins played by ancient masters.
His eyes will shine and sparkle bright with mirth and joyful laughter.
He'll show me friends and loved ones there who've gone along before me.
His wondrous Name we'll all proclaim in songs of love and glory.
He'll rub my feet with oil so sweet... His tender touch will heal.
No more life's corns and calluses or blisters will I feel.
I see the ever growing glow ...His Light makes me complete.
The gravel path is far below ...and no stones beneath my feet...
no stones beneath my feet!
