Painted Pathways
GuidanceTrustUncertainty
A reflective country-gospel meditation on a life known before its first breath, with valleys, scars, and roads held in the hand of God. Seven days of resting in God's sovereign authorship while taking the next faithful step.
"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."
A song for the road you're on.

Painted Pathways Dirt Road Gospel Music DirtRoadGospelMusic.com [Verse 1] Before this old world ever learned my name Before my mama held me in the light You already knew the road that I'd be walkin' Every wrong turn and every fight You saw the scars before the blade could find me Counted every breath before I breathed Wrote it all down before the world got started Long before my daddy knew my name [Pre-Chorus] I didn't have a say in it Couldn't bargain couldn't beg But somebody laid the groundwork down Before I took my first step [Chorus] Paint me a picture You held the brush before I hit the ground Every valley every mountain Every lost and every found Was already in Your hand Drawn up by some master plan Paint me a picture You knew me long before the world spun round [Verse 2] You saw my bones before they started forming Said my days were Yours before my own No man knows the hour that is coming But I know I ain't walking this alone You numbered up my mornings and my midnights You mapped the roads before I chose to roam And every time I thought that You had lost me You already knew the way back home [Pre-Chorus] I didn't have to find You You already found my face Written down before forever And I've been resting in that grace [Chorus] Paint me a picture You held the brush before I hit the ground Every valley every mountain Every lost and every found Was already in Your hand Drawn up by some master plan Paint me a picture You knew me long before the world spun round [Bridge] No man knows the hour No man holds the clock But the one who hung the stars up Can't be shaken can't be stopped He painted me before my mama ever cried He wrote my name before my daddy's eyes And every road I've walked has been His canvas Every scar a stroke of grace on the other side [Final Chorus] Paint me a picture You held the brush before I hit the ground Every valley every mountain Every lost and every found Was already in Your hand Drawn up by some master plan Paint me a picture You knew me long before the world spun round Yeah You knew me You drew me You called me by name Before the world spun round [Outro] You already knew my name You already held the frame Paint me a picture
