Sometimes the night was beautiful
Sometimes the sky was so far away
Sometimes it seemed to stoop so close
You could touch it but your heart would break
Sometimes the morning came too soon
Sometimes the day could be so hot
There was so much work left to do
But so much you'd already done
Sometimes I think of Abraham
How one star he saw had been lit for me
He was a stranger in this land
And I am that, no less than he
And on this road to righteousness
Sometimes the climb can be so steep
I may falter in my steps
But never beyond your reach
Oh God, you are my God
And I will ever praise you
I will seek you in the morning
And I will learn to walk in your ways
And step by step you'll lead me
And I will follow you all of my days
-Rich Mullins and Beaker

One of my favorite songs! (Sorry, I stumbled upon your blog and just couldn't resist commenting when I saw this!)
Lovely! It's one of my favorites too. A good summer song, I think - long, hot days and starry nights. I like that Rich's lyric underscores the ordinary day-in-and-day-outness of Christian discipleship. There's so much left to do, and the climb is STEEP. But step by step...
