Direction
God, some days I can feel You
Guiding my footsteps through my life
Some days of joy and happiness
Others unending strife
I cry out in frustration
What is it You want from me?
I've got a plan for my life, Lord
Why can't You let that plan be?
It's not a bad plan, God,
I promise you it's true
And I'll live according to Your law
It's all that I can do.
I'll bring other people with me
And obey Your written word
We'll sing praises to Your name
And pray that we'll be heard.
Then comes the day when our plans are crushed
I feel like there's a knife in my side
And often times it would be better, I feel
If I were just to die
My world caves in around me
Two tattered roads lay ahead
But I know that I must travel one
Though I wish for the sleep and the calm of the dead
So what would you have me do Lord?
When both roads look the same?
A hole here and a ditch on the side
Why can't I turn back the way I came?
Or I could stand here at the crossroads
Because I'm happy with my life
Let time go on around me
Days pass as the sun dances with his beautiful wife
Lord anything but these two paths
For neither has appeal
God surely there must be another
Escape from this ordeal
So Lord which path is better?
Where can I serve You?
In the melting pot of scoundrels
Or in that corporate zoo?
It's funny, now I hear it...
Those terms describe both ways
Which one should I choose, then
To spend my months and days?
But Lord if there is one thing
That I have ever learned
It is to trust in You, God
And You will give back more than I could ever earn.
I am proud to be a Christian
To be able to call upon Your name
I can't wait for Your return, Lord
For your 1,000 year long reign
But we stray from the point God,
Tell me which way is true
I trust You with my life Lord
I give it up to You
Lord let me hear the answer,
The answer to my cry
'Cause I want to stop feeling
Like it'd be easier to die.
