[Chorus]
As you walk down your road, may the wind rise to greet you
Eyes linger long under the light of her face
May your burden be as nothing with the smile of Jesus
May your heart overflow with the touch of his grace
[Verse 1]
I once knew a boy who was drowning in sorrow
Joy as elusive as the morning dove
Her body was a vessel and the sail was her kiss
And they sailed on God's love together, radiant
[Chorus]
As you walk down your road, may the wind rise to greet you
Eyes linger long under the light of her face
May your burden be as nothing with the smile of Jesus
May your heart overflow with the touch of his grace
[Verse 2]
You will swim for her shores and drown in her passion
Drink deep the waters of love that's a-flowing
Behold in wonder the children she bears you
And you'll nurture the flesh and the blood of your bones
[Chorus]
As you walk down your road, may the wind rise to greet you
Eyes linger long under the light of her face
May your burden be as nothing with the smile of Jesus
May your heart overflow with the touch of his grace
[Verse 3]
Though the sun may beat down and the land be as barren
Though the thunderclouds fail to give up their rain
Though confusion may sound like a trumpet for battle
There is a truth that will always remain
[Chorus]
As you walk down your road, may the wind rise to greet you
Eyes linger long under the light of her face
May your burden be as nothing with the smile of Jesus
May your heart overflow with the touch of his grace
Heart overflow with the touch of his grace
