Two Roads...

Two roads diverged and I
Stand fearfully and utterly still
Straining to see further down the roads
Yearning to know where each leads.

Two roads diverged and I
Beg for direction and cry,
"I want the one You want for me!"
Yet silence looms eerily here.

Two roads diverged and I
Try to figure out which is His will
Could one leave me broken? Or one leave me empty?
These paths seem so different to me.

Two roads diverged and I
Pray God would close at least one.
Bring up a wall or remove the path
Anything but ask me choose.

Two roads diverged and I
Question why God brought me here.
Doesn't He want the best for my life?
Doesn't He hear when I cry?
I want to obey him,
I want to walk with him,
I want His will and not mine.

Two roads diverged and I
Remember the Good Shepherd promises,
Not one of His sheep will He ever lose,
Not one will He let go astray.

Two roads diverged and I
But really, not simply "I"
I stand at the paths held firm in His hand
Assured of His presence for both.

Two roads
Diverged
and I....

Were destined to eventually meet.


They're refining and testing this faith that I claim.
They're asking me to walk
A road so very well-traveled by all,
By all who would call themselves His.

So I'll look at you, Roads, though diverged you may be
As nothing more than you are:
A simple chance to walk by faith,
To see more clearly my God.
And a little journey that regardless the path
Clearly leads to my Home in heaven.

Two roads diverged and I,
I saw them begin to converge.
The journey of both being utterly the same:
To make me more trust Him,
To make me more love Him,
To make me more clearly see Him.

One simple road and I
I told my Father, "Yes...
Less like me I yearn to be,
More like You I long to be,
Even if two roads diverging it takes..."
