Cycles and Songs

In my life there are cycles. In these cycles, God gives me songs to get me through. Some good cycles but mostly trying cycles. The songs that He gives me provide encouragement, peace, strength, assurance, direction and comfort. Music is to my soul what food is to my body. Sustenance. As I begin this "Easter" week in my life cycle, when my marriage died and He began to resurrect it, God has given me a song. It sustains me. It lifts me out from the dead even while still in the body. It soothes my soul and strengthens my heart. The words are wonderful, but to hear the music that goes with it adds a dimension that words cannot produce. Yet, here are the words that will remain this next week while I endure a rough cycle in my life experience.

All the way my Saviour leads me
Who have I to ask beside?
How could I doubt His tender mercy
Who through life has been my Guide?
All the way my Saviour leads me
And cheers each winding path I tread
Gives me grace for every trial
Feeds me with the Living Bread.
You lead me and keep me from falling
You carry me close to Your heart
And surely Your goodness and mercy will follow me...
All the way my Saviour leads me
And oh the fullness of His love!
Oh the sureness of His promise
In the triumph of His blood!
And when my spirit clothed immortal
Wings it's flight to realms of day
This my song through endless ages
Jesus led me all the way!
You lead me and keep me from falling
You carry me close to Your heart
And surely Your goodness and mercy will follow me.....
