The Path of Life
The Path of Life
Sitting in my sanctuary
Preparing for my day,
I listen to the clock’s tick
And contemplate Your Way.
I open up my Bible,
Read words profound and wise,
Reflect on applications
That flash before my eyes.
You make the path of life
A rocky, twisted trail;
Not promising a smooth
Road where I can’t fail.
You tell me rocks that trip me
Are lessons to be learned:
The ruts and hills – inevitable –
The weeds, the fires, the burns.
I long for all the pleasures
You promise to bestow.
You tell me to be patient –
There’s so much I must know.
I stumble at the road’s forks.
I don’t know left from right.
I take wrong and U-turns
‘Til you come back in sight.
You will show me the path,
The joyful one that’s best –
But I must put my hand in Yours
And TRUST. You’ll do the rest.
Amen?
