The journey is long and the road is hard

the trail goes from easy to very difficult

at times the trail will be flat and easy

and then the trail climbs beyond sight

then the trail will grow to be a trial

The weariness sets in like a blanket

enfolding, wrapping weighing down

Not just our body but even our soul

Hope can seem just out of our reach

We must climb step-by-step trusting

In the trail and the trails Creator

as we climb soon the clouds get thinner

in the light begins to shine to guide us

we reach the peak standing in the light

soon our body and soul are renewed

We want to stay at the peak in comfort

But the Creator beckons us to go

The path which lies for us declines

and we want to decline to go

but the Creator pushes us forward

and we descend into the clouds

the trail going down is not easy

At times it even seems harder

our feet stumble threatening we

Will pitch forward and fall down

if we are not careful we will look down

And our feet will stumble and fall

we must keep our eyes on the Creator
