In the woods, though the sun shines through the trees
There are many things that I cannot see
Brambles and vines grow right by my feet
Thorny blackberries grow as tall as me
Whenever I walk I get stuck on a thorn
Now I can’t move, I’m tired, I’m worn
How will I make my way through?
Then my Trailblazer comes for me
Snipping the vines from around my feet
He tells me to follow, He knows the way
If I walk behind Him I shall not stray
He’ll make me a path much better than mine
He’ll clear away the brambles, the thorns, and the vines
If I follow Him I’ll be safe
So now I hurry, so glad for His care
I run simply trusting that brambles aren’t there
With Him going before me, I’ve nothing to fear
What peace I have knowing that my El is near!
When I become tired, He gives me His hand
And leads me homeward, over water and land
My Trailblazer is leading me still
Beautiful poem, Faith! What a soothing word picture of Elohim’s protection and His “going before us”.
Ten years ago, I would not have known what the “El” reference in your poem was…but now I know. ❤️
