Where Angels Fear To Trod
Have your feet tread where God has already been, or do they stumble in your own way?
Do they walk where angels fear to tread, or are they kept straight on the paths of God.
Have you turned aside unto your own way, or are the ways of God your mainstay?
Have the thoughts of your heart given you cause to fear, that His grace is not near?
Have they ran foolishly away from Gods perfect plan, where peace is caught in the fray?
Do you feel that there is no use, to continue to seek His plan for your life?
Has all your following been in vain, and left you in doubt and fear and pain?
Has keeping the rules left you empty inside, knowing they only filled you with strife?
The answer, they say, is simple and plain, while they themselves cannot explain?
Yet you know that the answer is in, the One who has even called you his friend.
The One who promised to stick closer than a brother, yes it He who reigns.
He will give you a purpose and make it plain, because He knows the beginning to the end.
And He is the One that has called you to will, and to do, of His good pleasure.
He has given you grace that abounds and abounds, covering you, and all of your sin.
Out of His storehouses he has showered upon you, an abundance of His treasure.
Grace, and mercy, and pardon, and favor, He has given you, along with peace within.
Are there times of sorrow that come your way, and that without measure?
Have they given you reason to wonder why; you should be so afflicted so much?
Has you life been filled with tears and crying, has your faith been shaken for sure?
Do you feel as if you and you alone, are bearing this cross, and feeling deep loss?
Have your tears mounted up a wall of separation between you and your God?
Do they wear away your soul, and wash away your pure hearts desire to go on?
Do they merely remind you of the glories waiting beyond this veil of tears?
The tears are truly washing away the souls pain and bringing healing to the mind,
Cleaning out all imaginations and things that exalt themselves against the mind of God,
The mind of Christ we are told we have been given, yet His thoughts are above ours.
We search for their meanings, with all our might, to no avail in our own strength.
Knowing that Christ spirit dwells within us, with all that is needed to glimpse into life.
We determine to at last, let His Spirit show us all things that pertain unto life and love.
We feel His presence descending from Heaven softly as on the wings of a dove,
Filling us with a passion to serve, despite the tears and the suffering of this mortal way.
We steadfastly profess that Jesus will sustain us and keep our feet in His ways.
He will guide and direct through the tears and the pain, with life everlasting to gain.
We will serve Him with gladness all of our days, as we seek to obey Him any way.
Knowing there is laid up for us a crown of life, waiting for our coronation in Glory.
We put our faith in what God has done, through the cross of Jesus His son,
Where all of our guilt and sin was placed on the perfect Lamb of God, the crucified One.
Oh, the precious crimson flow, that streamed down that tree to the earth below,
Still cleanses, and covers, and pardons today, and keeps us trusting along life’s way.
Empty thoughts and words and hearts need its cure, to fill them with hope again.
Torments and terrors, and sufferings beyond measure are no match for the blood.
We look for our redemption, and the hope of His appearing, once again.
We will trust His grace until that time, attaining the perseverance wrought in us,
By the sufferings of this present world and all of its tribulations thrown our way.
Knowing that hope is being wrought in us, through these things, makes our heart to sing.
Blessed be the name of The Lord, Our God, Most High, who causes us always to triumph.
