A Mile of Road

For every one mile of road; the ditch equals two

Jesus, I’m grateful to be on the road with You.

When I lose focus and drift to the side

Your gentle nudging is my guide

Many times I was in desperate need

And still; Your nudge, I didn’t heed

In the ditch, the price I paid

For following the plans I‘d made

When I had enough; I’d cry out to You

You were always there to see me through

You’d reach down and get me on my feet

With mercy and love, we again would meet 

In the ditch I learned important lessons

To seek You for answers and to listen

To obey and trust You to safely lead me 

As we navigate my life’s journey

You don’t promise a bump free road 

You promise to help carry my load

And to comfort me when I stumble

For hard times are what make me humble
