I’d say you always offered me truth
But I think it’s only now that
You’re beginning to see
What’s inside of even your own heart.
It’s not love you need as much as God
Because a dependent love will not last
As one will that is built on mutual respect
And strength from Him.
God gives us the ability to choose:
His way
or ours
And sometimes it hurts to make that decision
And if we decide to walk down our own bitter path
Wandering,
Wondering why
As I have and do many times
We can choose to walk the other way.
And the legs which once couldn’t stand
He’ll give strength and purpose
And lead through His plan
With His map for our guide
Rather than our own riddles and rhymes
Based on feelings that fade
And leave us wondering why we ever chose this path
In the beginning
When we end.
