Journey On Jericho Road

Journey on Jericho Road Shattered grace in jagged nights on the road to Jericho; Ev’ry step and ev’ry breath are filled with shame I know I am to blame; I build a wall to hide my face so you can’t see All the pain I’ve caused – all the misery The blazing sun rushes in on waves - this wilderness knows my name Shadows trip my ev’ry step – detours crosscut - If only and yeah but…. I try to sneak behind my shame so you can’t see The walls I build – no possibilities On Jericho Road Then your trumpet sounds And all my walls fall down, Lord; On Jericho Road Where saints and sinners seek And find their Savior. My coat is gone. My soul grows thin. I shiver in the sunburned wind. Dust blinds my eyes but I still reach to see Milestones of hope guiding me To shelters of your promise for the journey – Resting place – oasis where you find me My wind burned heart in shade can rest – grace restored in tenderness No barriers and no blockades to your loving arms – Fear displaced and disarmed; Rising from the wells of souls - I finally see Hope stands up, shouts “Gloria!” a guarantee On Jericho Road Then your trumpet sounds And all my walls fall down, Lord; On Jericho Road Where saints and sinners seek And find their Savior.
