Sign Posts

THERE'S ALWAYS BEEN A SIGN POST

TO LEAD ME ON MY WAY

ONE I'VE NE'ER FORGOTTEN

UNTO THIS VERY DAY

THIS ONE IS STILL SO VIVID

THOUGH I WAS ONLY TWELVE

THE WONDER OF A STEEPLE

AT 23RD AND SHELL

NEW IN TOWN AND NEIGHBORHOOD

I SIMPLY HAD TO KNOW

THE MANY DIFFERENT WAYS TO HOME

FROM SCHOOL,  I TOOK IT SLOW

I DON'T KNOW WHY I QUESTIONED

WHAT COULD THIS STEEPLE BE

I RAN TO ASK MY GRANDMA

WHO SPOKE SO LOVINGLY

THE STEEPLE IS A SIGN POST

THE FIRST THAT YOU HAVE SEEN

TO POINT YOU TO GOD'S KINGDOM

BEHOLD A WONDROUS THING

THOSE THERE WILL TELL 

OF JESUS

BELIEVE,  FOR IT IS TRUE

IF YOU WILL ONLY LISTEN

HE'LL SPEAK HIS WORD TO YOU

OH LORD AND MY REDEEMER

I THANK YOU FOR THE DAY

A STEEPLE POINTING TO THE SKY

WAS SHOWING ME THE WAY

A SIGNPOST I'LL REMEMBER

THAT LED ME ON TO YOU

THROUGH VALLEYS DARK AND LONELY

THROUGH RICH GREEN PASTURES TOO

YOU TRULY ARE MY SHEPHERD

OF THIS MY HEART WILL SING

UNTIL THE FINAL SIGN POST READS

BEHOLD!  IMMORTAL THINGS

AND I SHALL SEE YOU FACE TO FACE

UPON THAT CRYSTAL SHORE

MY FINAL DESTINATION

MY HOME FOREVERMORE
