Lead of Love

This sort of goes with the last post, but I thought it deserved its own. I thought I had posted it long ago, but it looks like I didn't. I searched for it and couldn't find it, so if I did post it, I'm sorry. I think I may have sent it in an email to someone and just thought I posted it here. But anyway, here's the song that I feel defines my life. It really defines how I'm feeling right now and how I've always felt when I look back on my life, whether I'm looking back on the last five years or the last five days. It's something that I return to, something that gives me strength.

Lead of Love
Caedmon's Call

Looking back at the road so far
The journey's left its share of scars
Mostly from leaving the narrow and straight
Looking back it is clear to me
That a man is more than the sum of his deeds
And how You've made good of this mess I've made
Is a profound mystery

Looking back You know You had to bring me through
All that I was so afraid of
Though I questioned the sky, now I see why
Had to walk the rocks to see the mountain view
Looking back I see the lead of love

Looking back I can finally see (I'd rather have wisdom)
How failures bring humility (than be)
Brings me to my knees (a comfortable fool)
Helps me see my need for Thee

Looking back You know You had to bring me through
All that I was so afraid of
Though I questioned the sky, now I see why
Had to walk the rocks to see the mountain view
Looking back I see the lead of love
