The Road Ahead

These tears from my eyes have never fallen in vain They're a sign that in me, your kingdom still reigns That you're still working in the depths of my heart Embedding that fear that sets us apart That fear that brings us to do the right thing That fear that motivates us to glorify our King That fear that prevents us from living in sin That fear of God we lost when we let rebellion move in I'll be the first to admit, It's not easy to walk on a straight line While sin constantly tries to exploit the weakness in our minds Thinking we will never get caught committing crime after crime With deaf ears we hear & we see with eyes that are blind We flake and we fall, we see it happen many times But you still pick us up and wipe the tears from our eyes When I can no longer walk, your foot prints replace mine You who left heaven to save billions of ungrateful lives I still remember that long road I thought I had to walk all alone But when I looked down I saw your legs next to mine ready to go It was a vision you gave me to reassure me that no matter how slow Where ever I went, without relenting, you were sure to follow
