Before the threads of time began

Was pre-ordained a mighty plan

That I should walk with Him alone

The cords of trust unbroken





But fate foresaw my wandering eye

That none could yet restrain

To violate the friendship I

Would cause Him so much pain





Chorus:

And everytime I close my eyes

I see the nails, I hear the cries

He did not keep Himself away

He was no stranger to my pain

He walked a mile in my shoes

He walked a mile





Feet so dusty cracked with heat

But carried on by love's heartbeat

A man of sorrows filled with grief

Forgiveness was His anthem





No feeble blow from tongue or pen

Could ever sway my love for Him

Across the echoed hills He trod

And reached into my world.





Repeat chorus
