Path Of Pain Lyrics - Singles - Crimson Moonlight

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
