Beyond the see
Come with me
To a place I’ve found
Beyond the “seeâ€
Called “Higher Groundâ€
Google Maps
Won’t get you there
And Waze
Won’t know the way
Perhaps
You have the map
But don’t remember where
It lay
Dust-covered
A thing neglected
Undiscovered
Unexpected
Ancient scroll
Leatherbound
Heights untold
Lost and Found
The way is rough
But not for you
It is enough
To believe
It’s true
Not many wise
Not many great
Realize
‘Til it’s too late
Strait is the way
And narrow the gate
X marks the spot
The cross
In the crossroads
The Way
Many have thought
Its cause is lost
Or it is fraud
Or in the way
They walk
On by
They talk
They lie
They wag their heads
They’ll rue the day
They found instead
Another way
The blind eye
Views
But cannot see
He died for you
He died for me
Come with me
To a place I’ve found
Beyond the “seeâ€
Called “Higher Groundâ€
I once was lost
But now I’m found
“for we walk by faith, not by sight.”
“Now it is clear that no one is justified before God by the law, because, ‘The righteous will live by faith.’”
“‘Lord,’ said Thomas, ‘we do not know where You are going, so how can we know the way?’
Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. If you had known Me, you would know My Father as well. From now on you do know Him and have seen Him.’”
“Brothers, consider the time of your calling: Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were powerful; not many were of noble birth. But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. He chose the lowly and despised things of the world, and the things that are not, to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast in His presence.
It is because of Him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God: our righteousness, holiness, and redemption. Therefore, as it is written: ‘Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.’”
