N/A

Ahead in life's pathway the road doth diverge.
There are no simple choices, but forks, splits and curves.
I tell God to guide me upon the right way,
I tell Him to show me His Will now, today.

I open the Bible then open again,
But nothing speaks plain so I open again.
The path is unclear and no answers I find
Now I plead, "God lead me out of this bind."

The clock shows no mercy, decision time's near.
My mind is confined with knots, doubts and fear.
I ask why God's leading Spirit's not near
I ask, "Wilt Thou leave me to doubt and fear?"

With heart and mind weary, I fall on my bed;
I have no more prayers, so I listen instead.
Then whispers a Voice tender, sweet and low,
He says, "My dear child, must you carry on so?"

"You're searching and searching, not waiting to hear
Your thinking has muddied a path that was clear.
I have here before Me a path you must tread
But I can't reveal till your heart can be led."

Now I am humbled, my heart burns with shame,
I pray, "Dear Lord, once more I call on Thy name.
Forgive me for boldly demanding Thy Will,
Forgive me for asking while keeping my will."
