The Way Goes On

The wanderers and the pilgrims
Sought to share your precious word
And to travel in your footsteps
Was their purpose and their goal

But the journey lies beyond the heart
In a deeper faith
And the road goes on into the light
As we seek your face

And the way goes on
Across the oceans
Through the deep wood and the desert
And the way goes on
In the seeking
Of my spirit into tomorrow

Alone inside my empty cell
I search for you in the silence
A road to life art thou O Lord
And at journey's end lies my dwelling

But the journey lies beyond the heart
In a deeper faith
And the road goes on into the light
As we seek your face

And the way goes on
Across the oceans
Through the deep wood and the desert
And the way goes on
In the seeking
Of my spirit into tomorrow
