Joy In The Journey

This has been one of my favorite songs for a long time. It’s been on my mind and my mp3 player this week. I’m glad to be able to share it here. Michael Card has many times taken the Christian faith so many of us love and expressed it in simple, yet profound songs. I’ll include the lyrics, too:

Joy in the Journey (by Michael Card)

There is a joy in the journey
there’s a light we can love on the way
There is a wonder and wildness to life
and freedom for those who obey

All those who seek it shall find it
a pardon for all who believe
Hope for the hopeless and sight for the blind

To all who’ve been born of the Spirit
and who share incarnation with Him
who belong to eternity, stranded in time,
and weary of struggling with sin

Forget not the hope that’s before you
and never stop counting the cost
Remember the hopelessness when you were lost?
