I look back
at the journey walked
and the storms braved;
There on the muddy path
where my feet stumbled
to find a way through the night,
I see the footprints of the One
Who walked each step with me.
I look back
at valleys and at mountaintops;
sparkling rainbows breaking through rain,
where good overcame times
of unrelenting pain,
and I know I didn’t walk alone.
I was held by the hand of the Father.
I look back
at wind-tossed skies
as hurricanes and hail,
blustering against my too-little strength,
threatened me with hopelessness.
But the blessings buoyed despite
Satan’s best thrown shot,
and I know that
God made all the difference.
I Kings 19: 7 And the angel of the Lord came again the second time, and touched him (Elijah after the battle with the false prophets), and said, Arise and eat; because the journey is too great for thee. 8 And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God.
Isaiah 42:16 And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.
Psalm 23 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Isaiah 43: …..Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. 2 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
3 For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour:
