efore the threads of time began
was pre-ordained a mighty plan
that is should walk with HIm alone
the chords of trust unbroken

but the fate foresaw my wanderin eye
that none could yet restrain
to violate the friendship i
would cause so much pain
chorus
And every time i close my eyes
i see the nail,
i hear the cries
He did not keep Himself away
He was no stranger to my pain
He walked a mile in my shoes
He walked a mile
feet so dusty cracked with heat
but carried on by love's heartbeat
a man of sorrows filled with grief
Forgiveness was His anthem
No feeble blow from tongue or pen
could ever sway my love for Him
Across the echoed hills He trod
and reached into my world
chorus
