JOURNEY CAST
I cast my lot and walk the road along this earthly journey
Unbeckoned I will share the load upon my shoulders burning
Heaven surely waits for me the book that has been written
Long before this air I breathe my soul was claimed, forgiven
Oh, how cries into the night upon my ears do fall
Sudden as small creatures scamper unseen in the walls
Reaching deep within the fabric of my palpitating chest
Finding somber soothing hope deep within the breast
Hindered not by blinded fear my tread on footings solid
In helpless plunder pirates cheer from floundered ships are calling
Seas ebb upon the beaches hidden currents pulling
Drawing down those poor lost souls whose hope lay in their sculling
Disembarking from my path an option never taken
Restful silence peaceful visage to these eyes unbreaking
Hence the grandeur all around the splendor of His hand
Gratitude in my salvation thankful is this man
