Andrew J. Mair - Beyond the Lines (Alternate Version) Lyrics

I used to walk a narrow road,
Counting steps and bearing loads,
With every rule I thought I'd find
A way to peace, a way to bind.

But as the days turned into years,
I found my heart still full of fears,
For in the tasks, I lost the sound,
Of love and grace that must be found.

So teach me, Lord, to see with light,
Beyond the lines, into the night,
To hear Your whisper in the breeze,
And feel Your presence on my knees.

Guide me with Your gentle hand,
Through the shadows, across the land,
For in Your spirit, let me see,
The truth and love that set me free.

I met a man along my way,
He spoke of love, he knelt to pray,
His eyes were bright with heaven's glow,
He said, "It's more than you can know."

"It's not the steps, but where they lead,
The heart's intent, the planted seed,
In every moment, seek the light,
In every soul, the day, the night."+

So teach me, Lord, to see with light,
Beyond the lines, into the night,
To hear Your whisper in the breeze,
And feel Your presence on my knees.

Guide me with Your gentle hand,
Through the shadows, across the land,
For in Your spirit, let me see,
The truth and love that set me free.

Oh, the melodies I've missed,
In the silence of the scales,
Now I seek with heart and soul,
To play the song that never fails.

With every note, I feel Your grace,
In every face, Your love's embrace,
No longer bound by tasks alone,
I find my way back to Your throne.

So teach me, Lord, to see with light,
Beyond the lines, into the night,
To hear Your whisper in the breeze,
And feel Your presence on my knees.

Guide me with Your gentle hand,
Through the shadows, across the land,
For in Your spirit, let me see,
The truth and love that set me free.

Now I walk with heart and mind,
In Your spirit, love I find,
Beyond the lines, I see the way,
In Your grace, I'll always stay.
