THE UPWARD PATH
As we climb the upward path that leads to God
We need the guidance of His Holy Word.
We need His eyes to guide us,
And His arm to lean upon
In case we stumble following the way Jesus trod.
Although the path is steep, it has its own rewards,
And at each corner, we can see more clearly that which lies below.
Detached from valleys as we climb
We see the glorious views which only height affords.
And when we miss the path, stumble, fall,
Give thanks for each experience that enriches us
And makes us more receptive to His love.
We need to keep in sight our need of God
And know that He is always near to steady us,
He will hear our call.
The path gets steeper, yet His arms are stronger still.
The more we lean
The more His strength increases.
He will lead us onward to appreciate the glorious view
That will be ours at journey’s end and upon the hill.
