Renewed Restored Reclaimed - The Path Lyrics

Last night I dreamed
I died and went to Heaven
The Lord was waiting there for me
He said there's something
I need to show you

Take my hand and walk with me

Sometimes the path is hard to travel
Sometimes the world gets in your way
Sometimes things may not be what they seem
But follow your path all the way

The Lord and I
Started on our Journey
Through a meadow lush and green
He said: this is your childhood
Where innocence and wonder filled your days

Next we went to a big city
With busy streets and people everywhere
They were rushing all around with many things to do
Deadlines, commitments to meet that day

Next we walked through a dark forest
For which I was afraid
He said: this is the middle of your lifetime
But out of it you found your way

We then walked in the sunshine
Where the Light warmed my bones
He said: son this is when you found me
And learned that you are never alone

Our Journey led us to a doorway
And I wondered what was inside
As the door flew open far and wide
One dusty box was all there was inside

Sometimes the path is hard to travel
Sometimes the world gets in your way
Sometimes things may not be what they seem
But follow your path all the way

I asked the Lord what was in the box
He said: it was what I had left behind
I asked the Lord was it something that I wanted
He said at one time you wanted what was inside

Lord the Journey was long
Lord the Journey was hard
Lord please tell me what is in that box
He said: son, it was all in your life that was wrong

Sometimes the path is hard to travel
Sometimes the world gets in your way
Sometimes things may not be what they seem
But follow your path all the way

The Lord said: you exchanged that box for me
When you took me into your life
He said: son this is the very box
The whole world needs to leave behind

Sometimes the path is hard to travel
Sometimes the world gets in your way
Sometimes things may not be what they seem
But follow your path all the way
