The Earth, The Sky and Everything In Between

I like old hymns. A lot.

I like how the words have teeth; how they require much and soften little. Many address sin in honest and blunt terms, and in same way, they also speak of God's love and the hope we have in Him.

The following are lyrics to one of my favorites, 'All the Way My Savior Leads Me'. I enjoy the Rich Mullins's rendition, and appreciate how gives such powerful words a voice of longing and humility.

All the Way My Savior Leads Me

All the way my Savior leads me
What have I to ask beside
Can I doubt His tender mercy
Who through life has been my Guide
Heav'nly peace, divinest comfort
Here by faith in Him to dwell
For I know, whatever befall me
Jesus doeth all things well

All the way my Savior leads me
Cheers each winding path I tread
Gives me strength for every trial
Feeds me with the living bread
Though my weary steps may falter
And my soul athirst may be
Gushing from the Rock before me
Lo! A spring of joy I see

All the way my Savior leads me
Oh, the fullness of His love
Perfect rest to me is promised
In my Father's house above
When my spirit, clothed immortal
Wings its flight to realms of day
This my song through endless ages
Jesus led me all the way
