Faith My Eyes

I was listening to my iTunes as I was working on my computer and I paused when this song came on. It's the song of a sojourner thinking of the hometown and people left behind even while the road away from home streches out ahead. The lyrics describe a lot of the thoughts that have been flitting through my mind lately and I thought I would share them. How often do I mistake my happiness for blessing? It is much like a prayer for my life: Help me Lord to trust the mystery of your leading. Keep me faithful be it a light or heavy load. Help me to walk with grace my feet and faith my eyes.

Caedmons Call Lyrics: Faith My Eyes (excerpts)

As I survey the ground for ants
Looking for a place to sit and read
I'm reminded of the streets of my hometown
How they're much like this concrete that's warm
beneath my feet
...

But if I must go,
I trust...
Life is better off a mystery

...
Hometown weather is on TV
And I imagine the lives of the people living there
And I'm curious if they imagine me
Cause they just wanna leave;
I wish that I could stay

But I get turned around
And I mistake my happiness for blessing
But I'm blessed...
Still I judge success by how I'm dressing

So keep on coming with these lines on the road
And keep me responsible be it a light or heavy load
So keep me guessing with these blessings in disguise
I'll walk with grace my feet and faith my eyes

So I'll sing a song of my hometown
I'll breathe the air and walk the streets
Maybe find a place to sit and read
But the ants are welcome company

So keep on coming with the lines on the road
And keep me responsible be it a light or heavy load
So keep me guessing with these blessings in disguise
I'll walk with grace my feet and faith my eyes

I'll walk with grace my feet and faith my eyes.
And I'll walk with grace my feet and faith my eyes.
