Wonderings

There were so many roads to choose from when I followed my own way.

With every waking dawn, I could rise to meet my day.

A tangled mess of crazy dreams, all based upon my fears,

Intermingled with the route I took for oh, so many years.

I thought I could work out my path, manipulate, control.

Get my way and trample over each and every soul.

I depended on my own desires and pleasures for the taking,

Not realising as I made the choices I was taking

They’re sending me down empty roads that led to deep despair

Shrugging off my loneliness, expressing 'I don't care!'

Suddenly, reality hit, and loss became my friend.

A depth of pain took up the pace; I couldn't see an end

To all the hurt my selfish ways encircled and barb-wired.

Leaving me to self-destruct in all I had desired.

A voice rang out so clearly at the corner of the street.

A man, with bible in his hand, declaring I could meet

A saviour who would take away my deepest, darkest sin,

Jesus, the Son of God, would come and live from deep within

This worthless, wasted life of mine and gives me a new start

Through cleansing me by His shed blood and softening my heart.

I can't express the joy I've found in letting go of me

And giving over to the Lord my life so He can be,

The One who leads and guides my way and helps me overcome

The man I always thought was right but oh, how I was wrong.

Ask Him to come into your heart, repent and let Him free

You of the pointless, worthless road you tread, thinking you can be

Your own answer to your life that only leads to waste.

Don't waver or put off your choice, today's the day, make haste.

It'll be the best choice you've ever made!
