Andrew Peterson - You'll Find Your Way

[@williamgucker6490]

Summary: Married 18 yrs and 7 children. Brain cancer. Looking to die well and leave my kids with the same joy that I’ve found in Christ. This song captures exactly what I want them to know. Thank you.

[@garyhellen7718]

I'm praying for you Bro. Bill, for God's healing now or later, His will. For His mighty Hand of Protection on the souls of your children, to bring them safely Home to Him and in the mean time to live the Abundant Life in our Savior, Jesus Christ.

[@Ranstone]

The amazing part is you're love for your family is so strong that you don't even realize that you're that boy who's fought the good fight, and is about to find your way back home to Christ. Go home. I'll see you there as well in a bit.

[@francoisbessing]

From your words it seems you have that peace that surpasses human understanding. May God be with you continually and bless your paths and even heal you according to His will. In Jesus name, Amen.

[@marciahellen6290]

Sarah Stuker Thank you for the update. May the Lord bless his family with His peace and comfort even now.

[@debethzz]

Cure for cancer, please research intermittent fasting and autophagy.

[@tmkrausse09]

Only Andrew Peterson can do a beautiful Christian video talking about the travails of becoming a man in today's society. Maybe' if we concentrated on raising our boys to show their emotions rather than bottle them up we would have fewer teenage boys in their early 20's lashing out at society. Thank you Andrew for singing about an issue which is not looked at thoroughly enough.

[@ariahart3488]

And an understanding woman who knows what is up!

[@liljazzy4021]

I listened to this song for the first time about 11 years ago when my son was born. He's now, well 11, and loves your work, brother. I'm really grateful for the truth, beauty, and goodness in your art. Praising God for you in 2024.

[@lizmoreau7383]

So much of contemporary Christian music is repetitive and all about the good things. I love Andrew Petersons music cause he writes about real struggle and then the redemption that comes from God not us. I love his music so much.

[@MissGimpsAlot]

Praying specially for 4 souls that we deeply hope will find thier way back home..... true love awaits them, but they've convinced themselves it's hate. Thanks Andrew, for the reminder that they can always come back.

[@KingDavidPsalm150]

I just entered 20's... The song makes me cry every time I hear the lyrics... First kiss, first crush, the first time there's no one there to hold me... Just going through such situation... God lights my ways...

[@rancat2731]

You're not alone, many of us have gone through it, does get better as we trust Him.

[@michaelhenderson2657]

You will make it...I believe in you

[@benjaminwhitley1986]

“You’ll find your way back home” are some of the most hopeful words I can think of. Such light.

[@gracebeckwith1256]

Andrew Peterson is the Christians music platforms best kept secret. We love him.

[@katiesmith8519]

Oh my goodness. I have three little boys. Listening to this for the first time in 2021 America. I'm undone. 😭

[@bobpyle4754]

The Lord found me....34 years ago, and I still feel like a little boy wondering out in the woods. Wanting to be 'grown up,' wanting to make the right choices in life, never wanting to hurt anyone, never wanting to lose anyone, never wanting to disappoint anyone, never not loving my family and friends....but here I sit, in the dark shadow of an old tall tree that has loomed over me for,years. The only 'Light' I see is the Light of The Lord, hanging on the 'tree' He bore; hanging on the 'Love' He has shown.

[@AbbyHebrew4987]

+Glen Pearl I feel the same!

[@Archynan]

Thanks for being so transparent Glen. I think you might also like the song, "Man" by Reliant K. It really addresses the feeling of staying a boy too long.

[@dbthomps11]

read and sing the Psalms. Praise/lament/prayer!!!!

[@darmawanlintin]

God bless you friend

[@betsymcpeak]

Glen, I just read this, and it's been 3 years since you wrote it. It brought tears. I hope and pray you are finding yourself in the Light with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

[@thewalktochrist8192]

Today was my little brothers first day of school and in a way I can see How God our father looks at us when we begin to grow and he sees our first and mistakes. I’ve been walking with Christ 2 years and I’m not turning back ever! You who are struggling go back to the ancient paths and lash your heart to the ancient mast and you WILL FIND YOUR WAY ❤️

[@theophanie77]

I discovered AP a few days ago through his song "Is he worthy ?". I listened to it a hundred times and I "fell in love" with His music and His spirit, the Holy Spirit in fact. He is so humble and consecrated to God. The present song is also a gift from God, to help us along the way of life. We are so blessed through those gifted artists dedicated to the Almighty. May God richly bless you Andrew P. !!!

[@SteveStokesCouselling]

Really love this song. Encouraged me to walk the ancient road no matter what the cost. And to give me courage as a father to watch and support my sons as they find their way.

[@heschernp]

Thank you! Love your comments! Be there for them. They need you. My father died when I was 13 months old. I never knew him, but I miss him so. Cherish you sons -- and love them in every way that you can. Help them find their way.

[@bulmabriefs7999]

My children are grown and gone, and the trials for them have begun... It crushes me to have to watch it happen. I found this song, and was shocked at the honesty of emotion on Mr. Peterson's face... I felt like my own heart was reflected back to me there. I listened to to song and sang along over and over, praying for my children. Praying their feet will remember the way. Thank you. God be with you, brother.

[@Cultivatinggratitude]

My 18 year old son left now almost a week ago. He’s my only son, I have five girls and him. It’s been tough. I just found out yesterday wherever he is that he’s been sick and my oldest whose now 20 and expecting soon (she helped me in getting in contact with him) has been trying to convince him to go to the hospital and get checked. She said he looked like he wanted to cry. His stepfather (my husband whose been raising him for 11 years is very strict) it’s hard for him to show grace, mercy and compassion or even empathy and my son has struggled a lot with that. He hasn’t returned home and it’s caused a lot of turmoil in our home and marriage. Please pray for my boy and marriage and my family in whole. I suffer from many health problems and he didn’t wanna worry me he said. But yes he’s made many mistakes as kids do. However, God is merciful with us and we ought to be the same with our children. As his biological mother it’s been HARD. I go to his room and pray, grab his things and cry. But I know God is watching over him. I continue to pray over my husbands heart too that God softens it up, and helps him too because I know he too has alot on his shoulders. It’s been years of the enemy trying to separate our marriage through many form of ways. Please keep us in prayers and pray that when our son comes home it’s to a loving safe environment where he won’t receive chastising but instead Grace, love and compassion so he can be able to finally communicate without fear what has been leading him to do the things he’s been doing. Which thankfully have been minor. I love listening to all of his songs.

[@kennethcoleman5346]

I feel like I have lost my way and all I can do is lash myself to the ancient mast and trust that He will guild me through that door. I can't even hear this song without tearing up. I'm still a child at 47 lost and looking for the door back home. Marinatha!

[@noahferguson3540]

If you only knew what an impact this had on me. I needed this. Thank you. I will cling to the old rugged cross, and exchange it someday for a crown.

[@DeanJackson1]

I am always struck by the lyric "Lash your heart to the ancient mast." It hits me so hard. A reference to siren song from Homer's Illiad/Odyssey.It's a humble awakening that you aren't strong enough to resist so you do whatever it takes to keep from yielding...

[@darciziegler2645]

Oh! I hadn’t thought of Homer’s Iliad /Odyssey- your right. ❤

[@dgmisal1979]

I love the sequence about "lash your heart to the ancient mast" - such a poignant image...

[@Archynan]

And an awesome reference to the Odyssey!

[@Archynan]

Hope. Adventure. Purity. Solidity in faith. This song covers it all.

[@haslamgrasshopper]

Best gospel singer! Love his reality, and his music and his love of the Word is obvious.

[@bravo45th]

his is what the Lord says: “Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. Jeremiah 6:16

[@jessedphillips]

Thank you for this comment

[@SilentlikeBoomer]

The last sentence of Jeremiah 6:16 is, "But they said, 'We will not walk in it.'

[@t.deppart40]

this singer seems real, hope he stays that way

[@jeffmize5702]

Yep. I've known him for 23 years. He's the real deal.

[@mickmcivor4476]

Such humility. Really refreshing to see in a contemporary Christian artist.

[@SealUponMyHeart-x6o]

The lyrics make me think of the person i married. I have deep compassion and some deep love for him. I wish him well. Beautiful song!

[@williamgucker6490]

Married 17 years with 7 kids 14 and under. Brain cancer. Comfort from being reminded of true things about my children's future.

[@sarahdyck5176]

William Gucker I just saw this. I am praying for you and your family.

[@benfl305ify]

William Gucker I’ m just now seeing your post as well. My prayers are with you and your family. God is good and He brings his children back home to Him. Love never fails. Blessings to your family.

[@geeksofchrist]

On Bebo Norman's retirement tour, Peterson dedicated this song to him. Then he jokingly sang, "When I look at you, Bebo..." The place was a mess with laughter. AP had to start over.

[@southerngal2245]

One of my closest friends grew up with Andrew and they're still friends today. They have lunch whenever his tours take him to Nashville.

[@ttLKsmith]

Anyone else here in 2018 ...and sobbing :')

[@JamesStansell]

Leann Klingensmith always

[@kingswaydaughter7324]

Praying for my son....in the trail of his life......so deep in the valley, I don’t think he can see up.

[@lisam9885]

Chris Tomlin just released his version of "Is He Worthy?" which brought me to Andrew Peterson's original, and now here. So beautiful...

[@norareeves7141]

Leann Klingensmith - Sure am. Repeatedly, but just noticed your question. As a mother of 3 grown sons who have more than their "fair" share of struggles, this song pretty much wrecks me every time I hear it. The same goes for his song, "Be Kind to Yourself." "Is He Worthy?" also moves me to tears, but for different reasons. Blessings

[@andrewtlockemanch]

Still here in 2019. As my children are entering various stages from leaving for college to entering middle school to beginning to lose the innocence of early childhood, I pray this: Go back, go back to ancient paths And lash your heart to the Ancient Mast! And hold on boy, whatever you do To the Hope that's taken hold of you!

[@Nicole-po7mp]

I've felt so lost. This is what u needed to hear. 🙏

[@emdgrl]

He is referencing Jeremiah 6:16! I love it.

[@daisychick3030]

I saw him sing this live, and he did an amazing job. He really loves the Lord and his family. It's true to see he means everything he says in this song.

[@davidfroman8281]

Keep to the old roads, keep to the old roads, and you'll find your way. So true. Jeremiah 6:16 - Stand at the crossroads, and look , and ask for the ancient paths , where the good way is, and walk in it, and find rest for your souls.

[@tadpole8726]

As a lover of the "old ways" and "roads that go ever, ever on" I truly thank you for this song

[@edenfultz2698]

This song will forever and always bring me to tears, there is always one song on his albums that hit home with me. All of them can relate to me, but there is always one song that I hear when I most need it.

[@jaredfran519]

Stumbled across this song tonight, never heard it before, brought some hope back that I’ll find my way.

[@nickab000]

This song makes me cry every time I listen to it.

[@obamabinladen3031]

I’m going through some truly dark times right now, and when I hear this song it’s as if God himself is cheering this lost little boy on. Thank you Andrew Peterson from the depths of my soul, God bless you!

[@heatherhawkins9698]

this song is so calming. our cats fall asleep to it. this song is amazing!

[@coltonurban5546]

this song means so much to me. thanks Andrew Peterson. it really helps especially since I always get bullied at school... thanks 😂

[@curtfowler]

[@coltonurban5546]

[@troyeckhardt]

+colton urban I'm praying for you. Jesus loves you and so do His people.

[@glennbelfiore5776]

Remember WHO (and Whose) you are inspite of others word and their need to feel stronger at your expense.

[@martinchekuri]

He is a God of the Misfits and the God who does not bully ! :) Stay strong !

[@tball3748]

This had special meaning since my son is a Scout and I could almost picture him as the boy in the video. He's only a year from being a high school senior, but still seems so caught between "getting it" and being lost in his childhood. Beautiful song of hope and direction. Thank you.

[@ChemGuyCCHS2010]

A Song for sons and grandsons ………. God Cares, and So Do I …..

[@AliceAdel]

The first time I heard this song was live. I cried so much

[@JamesDWitmer]

It's so easy to love progress and modernity. Too often they mean little more than *transient*. I love this call to history and heritage. Thanks, AP.

[@TacticalCastle]

We need more of these @AndrewPetersonVEVO

Just go back! amen

This song saved me today. I'd like to purchase one of the lamps, to remember this time in my life. If anyone knows where to purchase them I'd appreciate it. Thank you, Andrew Peterson!

[@hammer9596]

Striking and hauntingly beautiful. I think of my 16 year old son. Just beginning to take those halting steps toward living his life. May the Lord be with him, and you.

[@Subremedy]

Such a beautiful song.. Love is a wonderful thing, and I can't help but to cry every time I hear this song.

hey someone should help me out and put up a ttutorial on how to play this song, Its the first song I want to learn on piano, thanks and God bless :)

[@Ranstone]

A friend of mine was suicidal. This was his song. He enlisted in the Marine corps with the intention of committing suicide on his 10 day leave after graduating boot camp. In USMC boot camp, you don't get access to the outside world. No phone, nothing. This was the last song he listened to the night before he shipped out. After three months of training, he got sent home thanks to complications from the corona virus. He was 100 hours away from finishing. Funny thing is, my friend is a tryhand, and only would let himself die on a moment of success, not failure, so with the .45 to his head, he said "Screw it" and kept fighting, even though his greatest dream was death. Had he graduated, he'd be dead now. Last I checked, he'll be homeless the 15th of January. I hope he lets God teach him as much on this adventure as God taught him in the Marines on Parris island. His faith is stronger than ever.
