nifty stuff

a million miles away from anything familiar
a thousand places I would rather be
so I choke back the tears 
and try to find the bright side 
though I find it hard to see beyond my suffering
in my heart I know Your plan is so much bigger
but this small part is all that I can see
and I believe you haven't left me here to wander
still I can't help but ponder where You're leading me

and I ask why this road
why this way 
and this load? 
tell me how far I must go
'til I see 
'til I know why this road

a million miles away from anything familliar
what was it like to be so far from home?
and though You came in love 
the world misunderstood You
there must have been some days when You felt so alone
but You endured 'cause there was joy before You
joy that came because You sacrificed 
since You gave yourself just to spend forever with me 
surely I can trust You'll lead me through my darkest times

when I ask why this road
why this way and this load
tell me how far must I go
'til I see
'til I know why this road

from here I cannot see 
why You'd choose this path for me 
but I don't have to understand 
to believe that You know why....

You know why this road
why this way and this load
You know how far I must go
'til I see
'til I know why this road

"And we know we are going to get what's coming to us - an unbelievable inheritance! 
We go through exactly what Christ goes through. If we go through the hard times with 
him, then we're certainly going to go through the good times with him! That's why I 
don't think there's any comparison between the present hard times and the 
coming good times. The created world itself can hardly wait for what's coming next...."
~Romans 8:17-19
