When I started my journey in fresh like trust
I believe that the Lord's way was best
I could read in his word
How his mothered the bird
And grieved when it felt off his nest
How I felt his delight
When I chose to do right
And I prayed I will not make him sad
We would meet in the way in the cool of the day
What a pure sweet communion we had
But now more than ever I cherish the cross
More than ever I seat at his feet
All the miles of my journey have proved my Lord true
And he's so precious to me
The road I have travelled has sometimes been steap
Through wild jagged places of life
Sometimes I've stumbled and fallen so hard
That the stones cut my soul like a knife
But the steps of my shepherd would reach out for me
And leave to cool pastures green
With oil of the spirit anointing my wounds
Then I rest by the clear healing stream
But now more than ever I cherish the cross
More than ever I seat at his feet
All the miles of my journey have proved my Lord true
And he's so precious to me
It's this old love sweet story too good to be true?
Do you find all this hard to believe?
Has the cruel world we live in so bothered your heart that the hurt child inside you can't grieve?
I can't say I blame I've been where you are
But all I can say is: It's true!
You're wanted, you're precious, you're the love of his heart
And the old rugged cross was for you!
Oh but now more than ever I cherish the cross
More than ever I seat at his feet
All the miles of my journey have proved my Lord true
And he's so precious to me
But now more than ever I cherish the cross
More than ever I seat at his feet
All the miles of my journey have proved my Lord true
And he's so precious to me
Oh he's so precious to me
Yes he's so precious to me
