The Road

Without God to guide my steps

I chose to walk a road

I followed my own risky path

And my soul was nearly sold

When I was dragged down into a pit

I felt so all alone

I knew I had ignored God

And needed to come home 

But God, who never left me

He wrapped me in His arms

And told me that He cared for me

He would never see me harmed

He listened to my prayers and cries

And forgave all that I did

All my wrongs were forgotten

And under His wings, I hid

He shows me now how He is the way

And is the only way to live

His will is pleasing and perfect

Many blessings He wants to give

He wants me to only trust Him

In Him who loves me so

He is the one who knows my heart

And will instruct me where to go

He wants me to live more fully

Knowing that his plans are best

Trusting in his perfect plan

Where I will find peace and rest

Oh God, I thank you for reaching out

And leading me back to you

I was headed towards such emptiness

I was blind and ignored the truth.

I love you Lord, who loves me so

Enough to let me choose

To follow you or try my way…

I’ll take the road with you.

You’ll hold my hand and speak to me

I’ll seek you day and night

I give my life to you, my God…

Of Love, Power, and Might.

He is more than able to see me through

All while carrying my load

With Him, I’ll trust he knows the map

And will guide me on the road.
