There is something I've learned
Over the span of 4 plus years
And that is; I am on a path
A path of forgiveness that I
Must learn to accept as a gift
And to give out just the same
On this path; I learned I'm real
The rough road ragamuffins face
Is one that brings us hope
That one day after all this ends
Our thorns and groans will be redeemed
For this world is not our home
We are just passing through
We must believe in
Christ's mercy and love
Gotta accept this holy gift
And carry on in
His strength alone
This is the ragamuffin's path,
And our home is just beyond sight
It's onward through the mist
And the sufferings
that we must endure now
Are like smoke beside
the eternity that we reach for
Though forgiveness seems far;
and the love further still
It's nearer than
We could ever realize,
So I proclaim
"I am forgiven;
I am worth-while;
I am loved;
and I am free
On this lonely road;
the ragamuffin's path!"
