The Tour Group

She hung back from the crowd and went about her way on her own
Besides they were so loud and she didn't really approve of their tone
So she decided to just stay back and marvel such things at her pace
And for this she had a certain knack in each visit in every other place

She didn't feel the need to rush as so quietly she wondered along 
So peacefully in such a quiet hush away from such a loud throng 
Allowing her mind to wonder about and discover so many new things
As sometimes we need to step out and enjoy what life truly brings

They kept calling back to her as she even began slowing them down
Come back to where you were, said the tour leader with a big frown
But she didn't listen to that general speech as she heard it all before
For the truth he could not preach and that was what was at her core

See, she could see all His Glory yet this man gave God none of the credit
He was telling a whole other story, almost funny but not to God one bit
But this woman was giving God praise, she was fully aware of His Name
Because no matter the days she wasn't going to share in their shame

I've been our tours where exactly the same thing happened - in Malta we wanted to stay and see the beauty of the church but were herded around like sheep to see things they 'thought we would want to see instead' - wont happen again when we visit in Ocotber! Hugs jan xx
