Lyrics
[Intro][Acoustic][Gospel][Man][Solo] (Instrumental, no lyrics) [Verse][Acoustic][Gospel][Man][Solo] Twice you struck me where grace should rise Words like stones beneath the church’s skies I loved with an open heart, the Barnabas way A friend’s voice holds me true, lights my day I took your sorrow, sought to make amends But you swung again where trust should bend I’m drawing my line with faith as my guide Not to war, but to peace — I’ll abide [Chorus][Acoustic][Gospel][Man][Solo] I’m walking the Barnabas way Not to fight, not to stay We serve the Lord on our separate roads I lay down the load, my heart’s bestowed I’m walking the Barnabas way [Verse][Acoustic][Gospel][Man][Solo] In the pews of grace, your rebuke cut wide A friend’s kind text steadies my stride Her faith lifts me up through the elder’s disdain I choose my peace where hope remains Like Barnabas parted, I walk my own No bitterness here, my heart has grown I won’t give you space for a third strike to fall I step with love, answering His call [Chorus][Acoustic][Gospel][Man][Solo] I’m walking the Barnabas way Not to fight, not to stay We serve the Lord on our separate roads I lay down the load, my heart’s bestowed I’m walking the Barnabas way [Bridge][Acoustic][Gospel][Man][Solo] My boundaries rise, His mercy lights my soul No more rebuke to take its toll With love as my compass, I’m moving away His grace guides my heart, the Barnabas way [Chorus][Acoustic][Gospel][Man][Solo] I’m walking the Barnabas way Not to fight, not to stay We serve the Lord on our separate roads I lay down the load, my heart’s bestowed I’m walking the Barnabas way [Tag][Acoustic][Gospel][Man][Solo] (Spoken or sung) I’ve drawn my line, but I hold no swords I’m walking the Barnabas way [Outro][Acoustic][Gospel][Man][Solo] (Instrumental, no lyrics)
