Really listening

Well, I'm back in Alabama, and getting settled in preparation for the semester.
I had a wonderful drive back between VA and AL and I got to listen to some cds that I haven't had out in a while.
One of those cds was "Songs" which is a compilation of songs written by Rich Mullins.
We often sing the choruses of some of his songs like "Awesome God" and "Step by Step" but check out the lyrics to the song "Sometimes by Step"...AKA Step by Step:

Sometimes the night was beautiful
Sometimes the sky was so far away
Sometimes it seemed to stoop so close
You could touch it but your heart would break
Sometimes the morning came too soon
Sometimes the day could be so hot
There was so much work left to do
But so much You'd already done

Oh God, You are my God
And I will ever praise You
Oh God, You are my God
And I will ever praise You
I will seek You in the morning
And I will learn to walk in Your ways
And step by step You'll lead me
And I will follow You all of my days

Sometimes I think of Abraham
How one star he saw had been lit for me
He was a stranger in this land
And I am that, no less than he
And on this road to righteousness
Sometimes the climb can be so steep
I may falter in my steps
But never beyond Your reach...

Abraham, the father of our faith -
The journey to righteousness -
The grace of God -

What a treasure chest in one song!
