Trail Blazer

Trail Blazer

 

You walked the path that left you in desolation

Though it brought you agony and pain

The broken road was paved with devastation

You trod the path to wrath to turn our loss to gain.

 

Cut off from the Father

Alone and with no other

Naked and no place to hide

No fig leaf to coverÝ the shame

You walked the road of death and died

To bear our guilt and blame.

 

And you blazed a trail to glory on that day

You are the pioneer of peace

Of restoration and release

And you blazed a trail of glory , paved a way

You knew where it would lead

Still you counted the cost and saw the need

No other One could tread the path you trod

To blaze a trail of glory to take us home to God.

 

And you blazed a trail to glory on that day

You bore the heavy load

You walked the narrow road

And you blazed a trail of glory , paved a way

We see it in the scarlet thread,

And we will follow where youíve led

No other One could tread the path you trod

You blazed a trail of glory to take us home to God.
