Paths

I look behind
And see what could have been
Places I’ve strayed from the path
But even in my faithlessness
You’ve been faithful
Always sure
To guide me back
To the path you made for me
Looking back
Those other paths pale in comparison
To the path that I’m on

I look forward
And see what could be
Paths paved with
Power and millions
Paths paved with
Joy and sorrow

But I’m just looking for one
One path made by humble hands
One path designed with wisdom
A path that holds
The destiny you prepared for me
You’ve promised to guide my feet
You’ve promised to prepare a place for me
Light my way Lord
Take me into your presence
