This Road

All heavy laden acquainted with sorrow

May Christ in our marrow, carry us home

From alabaster come blessings of laughter

A fragrance of passion and joy from the truth

Grant the unbroken tears ever flowing

From hearts of contrition only for You

May sin never hold true that love never broke through

For God's mercy holds us and we are His own

This road that we travel, may it be the straight and narrow

God give us peace and grace from You, all the day

Shelter with fire, our voices we raise still higher

God give us peace and grace from You, all the day through
