[Verse 1]
Deep thoughts
Spinning in my head tonight
Every ache
Feels like a little guide light
Every tear
Carving out a trail inside
Every wound
Teaching this stubborn heart to rise
[Pre-Chorus]
‘Cause when I feel
I start to see
You turn my questions
Into mercy
[Chorus]
You make pathways with my pain
You write truth in every ache
Every lesson leads me closer
To Your heart
Where understanding grows
And Your kindness overflows
Empathy becomes the doorway
Where hate falls apart
Christ is love
Christ is life
You’re the beating in my chest and my guiding light
Christ is love
Christ is life
Every road of learning leads me to Your side
[Verse 2]
Slow change
As You open up my eyes
Strange grace
When I look through others’ lives
Every face
Carrying a hidden fight
Every soul
Known and cherished in Your sight
[Pre-Chorus]
You break my pride
You bend my knees
You trade my anger
For Your peace
[Chorus]
You make pathways with my pain
You write truth in every ache
Every lesson leads me closer
To Your heart
Where understanding grows
And Your kindness overflows
Empathy becomes the doorway
Where hate falls apart
Christ is love
Christ is life
You’re the beating in my chest and my guiding light
Christ is love
Christ is life
Every road of learning leads me to Your side
[Bridge]
Teach me to feel what my brother feels (oh Lord)
Teach me to see through my sister’s eyes
Where there is fear
Let compassion rise
Where there is hate
Let Your love collide
[Chorus]
You make pathways with my pain
You write truth in every ache
Every lesson leads me closer
To Your heart
Where understanding grows
And Your kindness overflows
Empathy becomes the doorway
Where hate falls apart
Christ is love
Christ is life
You’re the beating in my chest and my guiding light
Christ is love
Christ is life
Every road of learning leads me to Your side
