Following

Following has never been easy

this path is overgrown

so long I've been climbing

this great mountain

on my own

Looking over my shoulder

I see how far I've come

By Your strength I can reach the top

spend all my days

with the Son

So I place my foot where

Your steps have led me

cling to the promise I'll see You soon

I climb this mountain

as Your Spirit whispers

"I am here with you"

Each trial deep, dark and daunting

is like a cavern wide

the Truth gives me all the courage

I'll ever need

to reach the other side

So I place my foot where

Your steps have led me

cling to the promise I'll see You soon

I'll cross this canyon

as Your Spirit whispers

"I am here with you"

Gazing up to Heaven

I see a glimmer of Your Glory

Your Son brought love, peace and joy

by the tragic cross

rewrote my story

He rewrote my story

So I'll place my foot where

Your steps have led me

I'll cling to the promise I'll see You soon

I'll dance like David when I reach this summit

Cause I'll be there with You

I'll be there with You

I am here with You

I wrote this May long weekend 2015 while on a camping trip with some friends. I was sitting on the river bank looking out at all the beauty and reflecting on my life. And then God gave me these words. I am hoping to building them into a song. If you'd like to try your hand at it, go for it and post a video of the finished product. Who knows, it could end up on my album the way that you compose it!
