Before the threads of time began
Was preordained 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
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
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
He walked a mile
He walked a mile for me
