THE ROAD
I've walked along the pathway of troubles,
toils and snares.
I've stumbled over many obstacles
carrying the burdens that I bared.
I've felt the pain and anguish
of the sins that had me bound,
I've often crawled from danger zones
to get away from the sound.
I've cheated death; I've cheated life,
I ask, what does this mean?
I've often found myself thinking;
I really don't know a thing.
I never knew which way to go so
I took the road that I could dabble,
I often thought about the road,
You Know, the one less traveled.
I was so lost and terrified
of the horror that awaits me.
If I would go to leave this world,
I knew God would forsake me.
I've found myself so confused,
not knowing what to do.
I heard a voice within the night
saying "Child, I Found You!"
I looked to the side of the pathway,
the one wide, cold and dark.
I saw an opening into the woods, i
t was small but not as dark.
I took a step onto the path
then another until I saw,
This road that was less traveled,
I didn't see it all.
The way was filled with lots of fruit
and meat for those to feast.
I heard a voice call out to me,
"Oh Child, This is the least".
I walked ahead a few steps more,
I stumbled and I fell,
But someone helped me to my feet
but whom, I could not tell.
The voice, it spoke to me once more,
it said Child, it's okay.
Remember that I'm with you,
beside you all the way.
There will be times of heartache
and troubles to get you down,
But keep your eyes toward heaven,
you'll see this all around.
You will never ever be alone
for there are angels everywhere.
Each one, who travels on this road,
has angels aware.
And if you fall or go astray,
Just listen to my call,
I paid the price on Calvary,
I hold your blood bought soul.
And one day soon if you walk this road,
One day it will be gone,
For I will Say "Child, it is time,
Come to your heavenly home".
