Lyrics
Pathway of Peace
Verse 1
On the wood of sorrow, where love and mercy meet,
The feet that walked on water were nailed for our defeat.
Every step towards Calvary, a journey foretold,
In His pierced feet, our redemption would unfold.
Chorus
Pathway of peace, steps of divine grace,
In every nail, our sins erased.
Walking the road of suffering for our release,
In His feet, we find our pathway of peace.
Verse 2
From Bethlehem’s manger to Golgotha’s hill,
His feet carried grace, and in pain, they were still.
“Peace I leave with you,” He said, now made manifest,
In the feet that brought good news, now our eternal rest.
Chorus
Pathway of peace, steps of divine grace,
In every nail, our sins erased.
Walking the road of suffering for our release,
In His feet, we find our pathway of peace.
Bridge
Oh, sacred feet, oh, holy wounds that bleed,
In every drop, a seed, of faith, hope, and creed.
By His walk of pain, by His love so vast,
In His steps, we find our peace at last.
Chorus
Pathway of peace, steps of divine grace,
In every nail, our sins erased.
Walking the road of suffering for our release,
In His feet, we find our pathway of peace.
Outro
So let us follow where He trod, in the shadow of the cross,
For in His footsteps, we find gain in what seemed loss.
In the nailing of His feet, in the agony, so sweet,
We’re led on the pathway of peace, to His mercy seat.
