THE PATH OF WORDS
I’m overwhelmed with words, they’re dancing in my head
Pulling me into paths I’m not sure God has led
They’re filling up my mind and raining down my feet
Sometimes I want to run and find a safe retreat
Too many roads unknown, with fear they strangle me
Not knowing where to go, my blinded eyes can’t see
I wonder why God is this happening just now
I’m not sure what to do, I’m not quite sure just how
Words living in my head with thoughts that twist my mind
Falling like a storm in a path not sure is mine
Too many things have come, too quick for me to know
Which trail I should take, so God You’ll have to show
As words drop all over, in fragments all around
They descend round my feet on broken, barren ground
Doors opening around in places far away
Looking I’m confused as they lay in full display
Notes glaring back at me that need to be arranged
On pages that await for promises I’ve made
A phone call that sits as I wonder what to say
For the ghost that I’ve become so someone else can say
Words that are not mine, but my mind and hands impart
The wisdom of their soul that helps my slaughtered heart
Too many options, Lord, this path is just too wide
Please come along beside me and walk by my side
Can’t do this alone, but this is the path you laid
One that I found on my knees when one day I just prayed
Now I can truly see in ways that just amaze
Finally past all the forgotten lonely days
Well you filled them Lord in a flood of doors I see
Still it’s always hard to allow You to lead me
