Song For the Journey (AOV 2/106)

A sweet gentle song by Erica Marshall, it is suggested for marriages and dedications but would be a good entrance when a quieter mood was needed. You can go to AOV to hear a little of the song.

My backing does not have the “freely” feeling suggested, that you can hear when Erica sings it I’m afraid.

Verse 1

All of our life we will travel a journey,

Called into love by the heart of the Son.

Believing this way, we will walk with him only

For he is our joy, our peace, our true delight.

Refrain

With you, Lord, we’ll know the way,

For you are the light of our day.

Your strength in out need,

Forgiveness and freedom:

Let us trust in the Lord!

Verse 2

Sorrow will come as we travel our journey,

Broken, yet blessed in the breaking we are.

And when we are grown we belong to him only

For he is our joy, our peace, our true delight.

Refrain

Verse 3

Happiness shared as we travel our journey,

Invites us to live in the heart of the Son.

Together we walk as we follow him only

For he is our joy, our peace, our true delight.

Refrain
