I have seen the glory of the Cross And my eyes see nothing else From it flows glory and its path is sacrifice It is the aisle It is the aim It is the Way The only Way There’s no roundabout path There is but One The Red Sea of His Blood Parted by the glory of the cross He makes the Way For my feet to tread The steep and holy way Ascending the more I descend The passion of my Lord Brings me lower We can not see this from a high place But the further down we go That is actually the way up There is an aisle with a golden carpet rolled And written in this aisle is the story Of a life given for a life I am His and He is mine And for His life, Mine shall be Thine So take my hand Lover of my soul And guide me on this way As You make Your life my own I yield to walk this way Requiring You to keep me going This is a way of precision and focus Where each step is a step of beauty And step of grace that tells a story I am Yours and You are mine My life for Your life Completely Utterly Entirely Wholly Is the only way of the path Heavenward The cross is all I see You have made the way And with everything in me My steps will tell the story For this path is not journeyed By word but through deed It is a walk down the aisle to eternity And I am kept by the cross I am held by His hand He has parted the sea by His Blood And I wish to walk no other way But the narrow path to which I see the exalted cross waiting for me So everyday I will step with the aisle Being painted Tota Vita Tota vita Tota vita You will not have me in part You will have all By Your Grace you keep me walking You keep me stepping You keep me seeing You keep me yielding And reaching yearning needing wanting desperate hungry ruined by Your Holy Glory Thank You for the Cross Thank You for this Grace And I ask Lord Give me more Give me sharper focus And a heart ever clean To ascend to places unknown And unseen To know of Your glory To see Your glorious face I don’t want to walk the roads of the world I want to walk the way of the aisle that flows with red and gold A sacrificed life tasting of glories untold Every day coming closer to Heaven’s gate Where Your cross I will cling to For it is by Your cross that I come this way Praise be to the Father And to the Son And to the Holy Spirit Amen.
