The Stony Path Underfoot

-

Early one morning, when the sun was still dawning

And the birds were just waking up

I felt a presence calling me to come

So I went, I was young, but I never stopped since

I think I hear it calling still

So I’ll walk until it stops, or it tells me to go home

With the lessons that I’ve learned

My feet have bled while I’ve been led

Past the pastures of green, past the rivers stream

Up the stony path, with tiny daggers underfoot

I’ve suffered for my faith but never forgotten my place

I’m but a pebble on this stony beach

Empowered with the gift of speech

I shall teach all I’ve seen, only when it’s time

Until then I shall continue on this path

And never waver or ask why

I’ll do this till I die, if I must

I have faith so I trust the greater cause
