From Nowhere to Glory
by Dave Mudford © 2024On a road bound to nowhere
with pain carried in my heart,
A journey where I compare
and I finish where I start.
On a road bound for anguish
with pride always to the fore,
A journey where I languish
and hope hurries for the door…
On a road bound for glory
with my Jesus there to guide,
A journey of our story
and how shame and grace collide.
On a road filled with meaning
with His Spirit within me,
A journey of His leaning
and where He's, my guarantee.
