Light on the Path



I've always been intrigued by pathways, by the Journey, by the wonder of what may be just around the corner. Even a pop singer such as Christina Aquilera can sing:

When they are standing in our way
You and me, we're a miracle
Angels stand watching over us
And heaven shines upon us everyday.

Or in one the favorite hymns of Mahatma Ghandi: Set Thou my feet upon this path, And keep me steadfast in it . . .

The hymnwriter William Cowper, friend and co-labourer with John Newton in the parish of Olney put it in a way that, in my best moments, I echo -

O for a closer walk with God,
A calm and heavenly frame,
A light to shine upon the road
That leads me to the Lamb!
