Crimson Moonlight Path Of Pain Lyrics

Path Of Pain Lyrics

But suddenly I felt

His arms around me

At last He had come

The Son of Man spoke to me:

"You..." the voice came, "beloved one"

He raised me up

And walked before me

And I followed his footsteps

With a sound of deliverance

A small and hidden gate

Was opened for me



"Follow me", he said

And invited me

Into the landscape

From where I first came

We sat down by a fire

And while his eyes penetrated me

He started to show me

The purpose of all my pain



"You see", He declared

"I myself once did this for you"

"For me", I replied. "Why?"



He continued:

"I once walked this path of pain

But I went much deeper

Than you ever may do

My love for you knew no end

And therefore I did

I had to sacrifice my life that time

And I did it

Because of the never fading love I have for you

But, though your pain was terrible

And I saw no end to your sufferings

I have walked the whole path with you

You have not taken one single step

Without me seeing it

And I have heard every one of your words

I heard when you cried for help

When you asked the Father to see your pain

Behold the path now lying behind you"



I turned and watch

The steps on the road

Each one of them was covered with blood

As steps before also were

His smile told of his great love to me

And as I started to cry tears of relief

He made a statement



Beloved one, I may not tell you why

I let you face situations like these

But I give you a promise...

I will never do these things

To hurt you in any way

But to strengthen you for future walk

And remember

Beloved one you will never be able to walk

Deeper into the unknown parts of the forest

Than I have done

I have walked the whole way

And therefore I know how to give you guidance

When you feel trapped on unknown ways...



He suddenly stood up and pointed

In another direction, and said:

Now walk this way and you will soon be

Out on the main path again



He disappeared from my sight

But my spirit could feel his presence of His

I trusted His words, and soon I walked

Beside the clear spring again

My whole being was strengthened

And I was armoured with the trust in Him

I needed for future tests to come

And I continued to walk the path ahead
