WHEN I STARTED
MY JOURNEY
WITH FRESH CHILDLIKE
TRUST
I BELIEVED
THAT THE LORD'S WAY
WAS BEST
I WOULD READ
IN HIS WORD
HOW HE MOTHERED
THE BIRD
AND GRIEVED
WHEN IT FELL
FROM IT'S NEST
HOW I FELT HIS DELIGHT
WHEN I CHOSE
TO DO RIGHT
AND I PRAYED
I WOULD NOT MAKE
HIM SAD
WE WOULD MEET
ON THE WAY
IN THE COOL OF THE DAY
WHAT A PURE
SWEET COMMUNION
WE HAD
OH BUT NOW
MORE THAN EVER
I CHERISH THE CROSS
MORE THAN EVER
I SIT AT HIS FEET
ALL THE MILES
OF MY JOURNEY
HAVE PROVED MY LORD
TRUE
AND HE IS SO PRECIOUS
TO ME
THE ROAD
I HAVE TRAVELED
HAS SOMETIMES
BEEN STEEP
THROUGH THE WILD
JAGGED PLACES
OF LIFE
SOMETIMES
I'VE STUMBLED
AND FALLEN SO HARD
THAT THE STONES
CUT MY SOUL
LIKE A KNIFE
BUT THE STAFF
OF MY SHEPHERD
WOULD REACH OUT
FOR ME
AND LIFT ME
TO COOL
PASTURES GREEN
THE OIL OF THE SPIRIT
ANOINTING MY WOUNDS
THERE I'D REST
BY THE CLEAR
HEALING STREAM
OH BUT NOW
MORE THAN EVER
I CHERISH THE CROSS
MORE THAN EVER
I SIT AT HIS FEET
ALL THE MILES
OF MY JOURNEY
HAVE PROVED MY LORD
TRUE
AND HE IS SO PRECIOUS
TO ME
IS LOVE'S
OLD SWEET STORY
TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE
DO YOU FIND
ALL THIS HARD TO BELIEVE
HAS THE CRUEL WORLD
WE LIVE IN
SO BATTERED YOUR HEART
THAT THE HURT CHILD
INSIDE YOU
CAN'T GRIEVE
I CAN'T SAY I BLAME YOU
I'VE BEEN
WHERE YOU ARE
BUT ALL I CAN SAY IS
IT'S TRUE
YOU'RE WANTED
YOU'RE PRECIOUS
YOU'RE THE LOVE
OF HIS HEART
AND THE OLD
RUGGED CROSS
WAS FOR YOU
OH BUT NOW
MORE THAN EVER
I CHERISH THE CROSS
MORE THAN EVER
I SIT AT HIS FEET
ALL THE MILES
OF MY JOURNEY
HAVE PROVED MY LORD
TRUE
AND HE IS SO PRECIOUS
TO ME
OH BUT NOW
MORE THAN EVER
I CHERISH THE CROSS
MORE THAN EVER
I SIT AT HIS FEET
ALL THE MILES
OF MY JOURNEY
HAVE PROVED MY LORD
TRUE
AND HE IS SO PRECIOUS
TO ME
HE IS SO PRECIOUS
TO ME
YES HE IS SO PRECIOUS
TO ME
