He Will Lead Me

Listen to poem:

I'm standing by the mountain that reaches up so high. I'm looking toward the heavens and asking for a reason why? In the shadow of that mountain, I can't see my way through... but I'll start climbing for the summit because I know I walk with you. He'll lead me to the highest, he'll lift me and I'll fly, Father, Oh Father, You are the reason why. I'm wading through the waters that flow down, so deep. I'm searching for the answers, but in faith, I will leap... into the deepest, darkest waters, I can't see my way through... But I'll keep wading through the waters because I know I go with you. He'll lead me across the waters, hold out His hand and I'll try, Father, Oh Father, You are the reason why. I'm sitting In the garden that is withering each day. I'm waiting for my time and while I wait, I will pray... That when the winter winds begin to blow and my breath is released; I’ll recall the mountain and the valley, with love and in perfect peace. He'll lead me to the garden, He'll hold me as I pray and cry, Father, Oh Father, You are the reason why. I'm lying in the pasture that spreads out far and wide. I'm looking for the Shepherd who is always so close by. There now, in the distance, He waves and beckons me! So I'll go now into that pasture that leads to my eternity. He'll lead me through the pastures, He'll carry me home when I die. Father, Oh Father, You are the reason why.

Such a beautiful reverent poem Crys. Whether we've reached some acme in life or fallen to our nadir, our Shepherd is there by our side, as long as we remain faithful
