The Wayside's John Thompson spent three years of his childhood on a farm. Like a farmer, he pours his heart and soul into sowing a life that is worth reaping. You won't see me crying, you won't catch a tear.
Life has a way of hardening our hearts.
But throughout, there is hope. Glimpses of the Hound of Heaven are seen chasing down the songwriter, and drawing him closer to his true Father. But no matter where we are on our pilgrimage, there comes a time when we have to make that decision. Paid for by a phantom who's as real as the night is long. Thompson acknowledges that life is indeed hard, even for the faithful.
