This song was written in a Sunday School room at Glen Leven Presbyterian Church in Nashville, TN. Inspired by theme for the 2004 Spirituality Workshops at Burke Presbyterian Church, Burke, VA , this song just kinda popped outta me on a Monday morning while I waited to meet with a group of folks for Lunch & Lectionary study.

This demo version is preceded by an interlude of a celtic fingerstyle guitar piece called Inisheer Air.

The Journey Is Worth Taking tuning: CGDGAD

Out there before me…you’ve gone. Traveling right here with me…you’re home.
Whether I’m in the sunshine - Whether I’m in the rain - Whether I’m all alone
You’re here just the same ………..And the journey is worth taking

In here around me…I’m afraid. Sometimes I let it drown me…I’m afraid.
Whether I’m on the mountaintop - Whether I’m in the gutter - Whether I’m all alone
You’re here…my Holy Other ………..And the journey is worth taking

The journey is worth taking and the choices are worth making
For there’s life to live in every single day
And with courage found inside us you are present there to guide us
Into your truth, into your life, into your way, your way

Other voices beckon…follow me And I have, I guess, I reckon…silly me
Whether I make the best choice - Whether I make the worst - Your life is ever lived in me
You are the first ………..And the journey is worth taking

The journey is worth taking and the choices are worth making
For there’s life to live in every single day
And with courage found inside us you are present there to guide us
Into your truth, into your life, into your way, your way
