This was originally written for the Reflection presentation/song-cycle, "A Question Of Caring", as were "Moths Into A Flame" and "I And I Alone".
However, they all seem to stand quite well by themselves.

You can listen to the MP3 of this song from the Reflection cassette recording of the whole song-cycle by clicking here. And the following quote is from the study booklet that accompanied the cassette recording.

"The service of forgiveness is rendered by one to the others daily. It occurs without words in the intercession for one another. And every member of the fellowship, who does not grow weary in this ministry, can depend upon it that this service is also being rendered to him by the brethren. He who is bearing others knows that he himself is being borne, and only in this strength can he go on bearing."

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Words (by Peter Casey)

You walk together, and the pebbles bruise your sole,
But still you carry on, together.
You walk together, and the weary miles unroll,
But still you carry on, together.

You walk together, and you sometimes lose your road,
But still you carry on, together.
You walk together, and your friends will share your load,
As you carry on, together.

And he walks beside you, though you sometimes do not see;
And his voice inside you says your journey makes you free.
It is the only way.

You walk together, and the feet that crack and bleed
Still tread the hardest stones together.
You walk together, and your strength is in your need;
You are not alone, you are not alone.

And we'll walk beside you, share your troubles and your peace;
And your steps will guide you to a joy that cannot cease.
It is the only way.
Trust in the only way.
