The Pathway

It’s the garden pathway

Silent and tranquil

It’s the peaceful journey

So soft, so still

It’s the voyage of life

So long and unsure

It’s the journey to heaven

Noting to deter

It’s the trail God created

Implicitly unique

Each person their story

The passage they seek

Crash, it’s the thunder inside

So strong and so dark

Flash, the lighting outside

So bright and so stark

It’s the pain all around

So strong, so traumatic

It’s the destruction beside

So intense, so dramatic

I see the pain

The anger, the hurt

And I cry, I weep

The beauty turned dirt

God’s perfect plan marred

Destroyed by our sin

The beautiful path blackened

By the devastation within

But God’s path is still there

Clear through the grime

He had created it improved

From before the crime

Because now he can display

His wonderful glory

The power of His love

The joy of His story

Why can we not see

Are our eyes so blind?

Why will we not look

At his love so kind

We see the destruction

The ripping the tearing

But we fail to understand

His love so searing

Let’s look at the pathway

So serene and tranquil

Let us look at our Saviour

And in the storm be still
