He Goes Before

There is nothing that comforts quite like The Gospel.  There is nothing that eases a mind, quite like The Gospel.  There is nothing that rests a heart, quite like The Gospel.  There is nothing quite like it, because it was planned and designed with US in mine by our OWN Creator.. who knows us... who knew us before time began.  wow.  It really blows my mind!

This weekend I had the great honor of leading worship for speaker and author, Elyse Fitzpatrick.  She taught the simple truth of The Gospel, and it's power fell fresh on my heart.  As I was traveling back, I penned a new song.  I find myself singing it as I run about my daily tasks.  I pray it will serve as a reminder of Truth for you as it does for me.

He Goes Before  -jp

When the night is dark, when the road is dim

When I cannot see the way

i will follow Him, I will fear no more

'cause my Savior, He goes before

when the journey's long, and the suffering deep

when my strength begins to fail

i will trust His hand, as He leads me forward

'cause my Savior, He goes before

He goes before, He leads ahead

There is no mountain or valley He's not tread

when I'm with Him, the path is dim no more

'cause He goes, He goes before

When I'm full of guilt

When regret is strong

When my soul wants to despair

I will hope in Him, I will rest secured

'cause my Jesus, He goes before

He goes before, He's gone ahead

and He has purchased my life, He's paid the debt

when I'm with Him, my sin is no more

'cause He goes, He goes before

When my end is near, when I breathe my last

I'll not fear my fate to come

I will rejoice forevermore

'cause my Jesus has gone before

He's gone before, He waits ahead

Robed in splendor, to welcome me in

when I'm with Him, all will be restored

and He goes, He goes before

Take heart!  He is not leading us on an unfamiliar road.  :)
