Blaze that trail

I wonder where the Lord is leading. It's not that I don't believe that God is leading us. He always is. And it's not that I don't know that everything will work out great. It always does. And I actually really embrace change. (This may be a surprise to you... I didn't say I was super flexible. But I like new things.) And I want to know what the future holds. And I don't mean the future as in 10 or 15 years from now. I mean next week. I mean 3 months from now. I mean next year. I'm just so curious!!

I don't really like it when people post lyrics on their blogs. It just seems so... I don't know... boring. I apologize to all of you out there who may think it's heretical to say such a thing against music in any form. But come on, who wants to read the lyrics to a song on someone's blog? So with that noted, I'm going to post the lyrics to a song. :) Sorry.

Pillar of Fire, in our lives, blaze that trail.

There, in the distance--a pillar of fire
Rumbling like thunder in a dream
It roars among the pines along the lines
Of the great Mississippi

It scatters all the cattle, and rattles the trees
It skids across the prairie by the moon
It sings like a choir, this pillar of fire
And the name of God is the burning tune

I can see it whirling, swirling,
Spinning all around
Upward, onward, homeward bound
Oh, Jesus, lead me through the night,
Pillar of Fire

On through the passes of the mountains it goes
As bouldered and broken as my heart
I shiver and cry and I watch as it winds
To the deepest and the darkest parts

I can see it whirling, swirling,
Spinning all around
Now upward, onward, now homeward bound
Oh, Jesus, hold me through the night,
Pillar of Fire
Where, Oh Lord, are you leading?
I can get so scared in the night
My feet are cut and bleeding
With every step I feel less alive

Oh, but Pillar of Fire, you blazed this trail
You've been there every step along the road
From a barn in Bethlehem to Hell and back again
You blazed the trail that leads me home

I can see it whirling, swirling,
Spinning all around
Now upward, onward, now homeward bound
Oh, Jesus, hold me through the night,
Pillar of Fire

On to the ocean I follow it down
Where it sizzles and boils in the waves along the sound
Oh, Jesus, lead me to your shore
Pillar of Fire
