Not sure which way to go - |
For years I've traveled down life's path With all its twists and turns, Wondering which way to go from here As the fever in me burns - So easy to just lie down And not continue on; So easy to forget the smile When everything goes wrong. Yet somewhere in my soul Is a spirit that says "Wait!" There are things ahead of you And you must fill your plate! So up I get, another day, And try to live the best I can - Knowing it's not up to me, It's all in my Father's plan. I'm tired of the heartbreak - Of seeing loved ones die; I'm tired of still trying When the present makes me cry. Escape! I long to get away! From all the tears and strife That seem to heap upon my heart And rob me of my life! I see ahead a meadow Where the flowers gently sway; Where the skies are serenely blue And little children play. I see ahead a place to rest, To lay my tired body down; Yet there is still another road Just outside of town. The other road is twisted; Trees grown tall to block the view, Yet it looks so inviting That I turn and travel through. I cannot see what lies ahead, I just go on from day to day - I'm at the crossroads of my life And Jesus bids me stay. We have to trust in God above If we are to make it through; When at the crossroads we stand He'll tell us what to do. |
