Walking Through the Rain

I take this journey walking through the rain
Each step I take makes my heart grow humble
Can I bear this path, ripe with sacred pain?

It’s time to start on this dangerous campaign
Clouds start to form and skies sound their rumble
I take this journey walking through the rain

I know not, what lies past this rough terrain
Struggles I suffer, cause me to stumble
Can I bear this path, ripe with sacred pain?

The storms build up, what shall my soul obtain?
Eternal bliss or is God just mumble
I take this journey walking through the rain

For enduring this strife may God ordain
My life to saint-hood, my heart will tremble
Can I bear this path, ripe with sacred pain?

For one Easter ago, Christ did unchain
His great example, my heart resemble
I take this journey walking through the rain
I will bear this path, ripe with sacred pain.
