The Face of Glory

One day at a time, step by step I go one mile after another

like following footprints in the snow.

My feet slide out from under beneath of me at times

And I am all asunder with broken pieces left behind

But I can walk faster now, after I’ve fallen.

I can get up again, I’ve not forgotten.

There’s a silver lining around every cloud

and I’ll find the good within the bad somehow.

The sun is still shining just over the horizon, I have to believe it.

It’s an uphill battle on my journey home.

This path isn’t easy, but I’m never alone.

I’m climbing higher now after the rain.

I am inspired somehow in spite of the pain.

Although the going is tough and it feels like too much and I want to give up.

I keep pressing through for one day I will see You

and the Face of Glory will be shining on me.

And I can walk faster now, after I’ve fallen.

I can get up again, I’ve not forgotten.

There’s a silver lining around every cloud

and I’ll find the good within the bad somehow.

The sun is still shining just over the horizon, I have to believe it.

And I’ll keep moving on, and I’ll keep growing strong until the road I travel on

is paved with gold and I behold the Face of Glory shining on me.
