Road Trip (I Have Miles Yet to Travel)


I have miles yet to travel- I have not yet arrived
The journey of the SpiritI have by grace survived
When I encounter holinessI see the need to grow
The place where I am transformedIs on God’s glory road

I’ve  walked with many saints thereOn paths where I was led
I know the Lord was leadingThough times I walked in dread
But other times were gloriousThough fateful ways I’ve trod
They led me ever onwardInto the arms of God

Chorus
The road we walk before usWas by the Father planned
To build in us a true trustHe leads us by the hand
Tho the journey take usO'er mountains rough and steep
He will not forsake usOurfaith in Him He'll keep

Bridge:
Sufficient grace will be my guideAs I walk the way of change
The miles meant to kill our prideTill holiness remains

I have yet miles to traveluntil I look like Christ
Some weavings to unravelSome sins to sacrifice
But God’s grace is sufficientTo see me safely home
His promises will not relentTho rugged ruts I roam.

At times my mind may murmurBut I will not forget
My footsteps become firmerAnd on a Rock are set
I’ve many miles to traverseSo many tests and trials
God’s promises I’ll rehearseT'will see me through the miles

Chorus
The road we walk before usWas by the Father planned
To build in us a true trustHe leads us by the hand
Tho the journey take usO'er mountains rough and steep
He will not forsake usOurfaith in Him He'll keep

Hebrews 12

I Want to Go There (Places in the Heart)

Image
We meet to part and part to meet The parting’s mostly bittersweet When one is absent from our space It leaves a hole one can’t replace When loved ones are called away To new horizons and can’t stay In the familiar anymore to remain We still miss them dearly clear and plain But there can be no regrets And we will nevermore forget The blessed tie that binds us still While they seek their calling to fulfill. Whether absent from the body  Or absent from this place The tie that binds us transcends time and space. The ties that bond us are the stuff of grace. I want to go there, where we shall never part A place where new beginnings find their start  Where memories and sweet endings dwell Together they  say “All is well!” I want to go there to those places in the heart… We meet to part and part to meet The parting’s mostly bittersweet We miss what never mattered much When one is absent from our touch But there can be no regrets And we will nevermore forget The blessed tie that ...

Sing to My Bones

Image
In my wilderness a voice cries out It’s preparing my way even now It sweeps out leaven and casts out doubt Sets my face like a flint as I vow To examine my heart and enact All these lessons I’ve learned from the start I am bound in a covenant pact To the one who is searching my heart He will sing to my bones and they will dance I encounter the joy that only Christ grants Fill that God-shaped space you carved out in me Hallow this hollow heart and set me free. In the aching marrow of my soul Mystic music ascends from the deep It resounds in the uttermost flickering coal As the melody rises the embers now leap And a harmony holy and happy and true Sourced by life’s righteous fountain above Flows forth and dry bones are born anew And prove the wonders of your love. There are songs that the Spirit writes Writ on tablet of hearts that are contrite They emerge from the marrow and sing to my bones Profound praises where Christ is enthroned Deep is now crying unto deep For the glory the...

Lost Ark?

I've been reading of the Lemba people for years, but I was interested to see this article recently. I can't make our what it would look like in 3D as it looks sort of like a lumpy bowl in the picture. Guess I would look lumpy too if I was made of 2500 year old wood...
