A Journey Traveled

(Verse 1) Cracked asphalt stretches, dusty plains unfold Sun beats down heavy, a story no one knows Wind whispers secrets through the rusted barbed wire fence Where faith and doubt wrestle in a weary coexistence (Chorus) But somewhere in the silence, a sparrow takes to flight A tiny testament to hope, a beacon in the night Maybe God's not in the answers, the comfort we all crave Maybe He's in the questions, the whispers in the day (Verse 2) Weary hands are calloused, from burdens carried long Backs bent low with worry, in a never-ending song Seeking solace in the steeple, a solace hard to find But grace ain't stained glass windows, it's the kindness of a mind (Chorus) That sees a stranger faltering, and offers up a hand A simple act of mercy, in this parched and weary land Maybe God's not in the service, the hymns we sing so loud Maybe He's in the helping hand, erasing every cloud (Bridge) The road ahead is dusty, the destination unclear But faith's a flickering candle, that chases away all fear Not a blind acceptance, but a trust in unseen things A melody of hope, on battered, broken wings (Chorus) That lifts a weary spirit, and mends a fractured soul A love that's unconditional, making us whole Maybe God's not in the thunder, the miracles we chase Maybe He's in the quiet moments, the love that fills this place [Music fades] (Outro) So let the questions linger, let the doubts have their say For faith's a journey traveled, not a destination today And in the seeking, searching, in the tears that freely fall We'll find a love that's waiting, to embrace us one and all [End]
