Journey's End 05/26/95 If you change the path we use to take,
I cannot go there with you.
For any path you would choose,
is one I have already traveled.
I have sojourned it's countless byways,
climbed it's impossible elevations.
I have fallen victim to it's deceptive twists,
and been lost in it's illusive destinations.
Don't think me unkind,
if I leave you to travel alone.
For I know the end of the journey you are
on and I am nearly there.
My heart aches to spare you the age old trials,
that have been a thousand years revisited,
that somehow are new to each generation,
that imagines it has a different set of
circumstances.
But reality proves a different course,
with all the same results,
and when you have completed your expedition,
you will discover many others long before
arrived.
I will be there waiting,
where your journey first began,
the same beginning I discovered,
at my own journey's end.
Luke 3:5 Every valley shall be filled in,
every mountain and hill made low.
The crooked roads shall become straight,
the rough ways smooth,
and all people will see God's salvation.
