Arrows
Echoes of Glory: Journeying with Arrows
Lyrics
I see You hidin’ there
I perceive Your presence, though it seems hidden
Behind the orphan’s stare
Manifested in the gaze of those without parents
Every time I breathe the air
Each breath I take acknowledges Your existence
There’s no denyin’
Undeniable is the fact
From the oceans wide
From vast oceans to the starry heavens
To the star-filled sky
Even in the cries of my child
To my baby’s cry
Your presence is omnipresent
Oh, You’re everywhere
You are present everywhere
There’s nowhere I go Your glory isn’t revealed
No place I go where Your glory is not revealed
I just look up and see it
I just need to look up to witness it
Everywhere I go I see arrows
Arrows are symbolic, guiding me back to You
Pointing the way back to You
Everything around directs me towards You
Everything I see grabs ahold of me
The world captures my attention, leading me to You
Leading me straight back to You
Every experience points me back to You
Maybe Plato’s right
Contemplating the possibility that Plato was correct
There is more than meets the eye
There's more to reality than what meets the eye
What I witness with my eyes
What I see visually tells a grander narrative
Tells a bigger story
Observations hint at a larger story
Like the serpent on the staff
Referencing the serpent on the staff, a biblical symbol
Like the ark that Noah had
Similar to Noah's ark, biblical imagery continues
You’re painting pictures that, oh
You're creating images that resonate with Your glory
Echo Your glory
These images echo Your magnificence
When Moses struck the rock the secret was spilled
Moses revealing a secret as he struck the rock
‘Cause the spring is Jesus
The spring is a metaphor for Jesus
Make me an arrow
Requesting to be molded into an arrow
Put me in Your bow
Place me in Your bow, a metaphor for preparation
Pull back and let go
Pull back and release, symbolizing guidance and purpose
And send me wherever You want me to go
Send me wherever Your will desires
I’ll be Your shadow
I'll faithfully follow as a shadow
You lead I’ll follow You
You lead, and I'll obediently follow
Everywhere I go I’m an arrow
As I go about, I function as an arrow
Leading the way back to You
Guiding others back to You
In pleasure or in pain
Whether in joy or in suffering
Just like sunshine and rain
Similar to the consistency of sunshine and rain
I’ll be an arrow for You
I commit to being an arrow for You
I will follow You
I pledge to follow You
