He Walked a Mile

There is a song out that I love to hear.

It reminds me that I need not fear.

He took the pain for me and you.

He walked that mile so we won’t have to.

Clay Crosse sings a song and it speaks volumes. His album, “Simply Clay Crosse” is truly a blessing, and so worth the small investment. Please see the video below, following the lyrics, set to scenes from the Gospel of John.

“He Walked A Mile”

Before the threads of time began
Was pre-ordained a mighty plan
That I should walk with Him alone
The cords of trust unbroken

But fate foresaw my wandering eye
That none could yet restrain
To violate the friendship I
Would cause Him so much pain

Chorus:
And every time I close my eyes
I see the nails, I hear the cries
He did not keep Himself away
He was no stranger to my pain
He walked a mile in my shoes
He walked a mile

Feet so dusty cracked with heat
But carried on by love’s heartbeat
A man of sorrows filled with grief
Forgiveness was His anthem

No feeble blow from tongue or pen
Could ever sway my love for Him
Across the echoed hills He trod
And reached into my world.

And every time I close my eyes
I see the nails, I hear the cries
He did not keep Himself away
He was no stranger to my pain
He walked a mile in my shoes
He walked a mile

Bite Your Tongue Before it Bites Someone Else

Though the tongue is but a small member of the body, it can be very poisonous to others. We must remember that the words we throw out there cannot be easily taken back. They can destroy the best of relationships for a lifetime. I like what James has to say about guarding our tongues.

James 2:5-12: “Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things. See how great a forest a little fire kindles! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell.”

“For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and creature of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by mankind. But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God. Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so.”

“Does a spring send forth fresh water and bitter from the same opening? Can a fig tree, my brethren, bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Thus no spring can yield both salt water and fresh.”
