The Lord's Path

Sometimes the Lord will plan footsteps for us
Which lead us through the unknown,
But better a pathway in darkness with Him
Than a pathway in light all alone.

Vulnerable we, when we strike out alone,
Foolish and open to error.
When we lose direction, where do we turn?
Who then will save us from terror?

We should not embark on a path led by chance,
Assuming that we'll be okay.
For we cannot see around the next bend,
And that which we had slips away.

So it is best to walk the Lord's path.
He'll guard us and show us the way.
We then are safe in His covering and care
As we trust in him day-to-day.

"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart: and lean not unto thine own understanding."
Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV
