How Great is your Way.

 How Great Is Your Way

How great is Your way—higher than the mind can chart,

A boundless,deep ocean beyond the shores of my heart.

It courses through the cosmos,yet finds the sparrow’s fall,

A mystery of wisdom that cradles,governs all.

How great is Your way.

It is not a path of mine, widened by my demand,

But a holy,unfolding work from an unseen Hand.

A tapestry where sorrow and joy are woven tight,

Where darkness serves the purpose of revealing greater light.

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” (Isaiah 55:8-9)

Your way led through the waters, a highway through the sea.

Your way was in a manger,for all the world to see.

Your way climbed up a hilltop,to a cruel and lonely cross,

To turn our greatest tragedy into eternal gain,not loss.

It is the narrow road that leads to life and peace,

Where striving finds its rest,and every craving finds release.

A way of perfect justice,clothed in mercy’s gentle sway,

A paradox of power that takes a servant’s shape to save.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. (Proverbs 3:5-6)

So I will not lean on the logic of my sight,

For Your great way is perfect,and Your burden is light.

I will walk by faith,not by the map I’d planned to keep,

For You go before me through valleys dark and deep.

How great, how glorious, how good is Your way—

From the dawn of creation to the end of days.

I surrender my own.Lead me, Lord, I pray.

Your way is love.Your way is life.

Your way is great.

Amen.
