Trail of Tears
He came to walk this trail of tears to free me from my sin.
To make us wise beyond our years and make us whole again
His love makes all the difference it casts out every fear
At Christmas may you see it all begin!
The trail of tears began in a place called
And many miles would come before its end
There in a stableís trough filled with hay from yonder loft
He began a journey to
For the baby in the hay,
He would grow up and one day
Would die that all the world would be set free.
And this trail of tears he walked for you and me
When at his journeyís end He would not seek to defend
Though he had ten thousand angels at his call.
He chose to suffer loss and he chose a rugged cross
To lay down his life and give his all in all.
