The Journey of a Thousand Miles

This piece gets its text from a teaching of Lao-Tzu. It was composed by Paul Vasile, one of our song leading inspirations and the executive director of Music That Makes Community.

“The Journey of a Thousand Miles” lends itself obviously to a processional moment in the service, and could also be sung outside the church walls at a march, vigil, or protest.

Text:

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step
The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step
Although we may not know where the road will lead
We know that love will always guide our feet
Oh the journey of a thousand miles begins with one step

You can find sheet music here, and a recording here.
