DETOURS ON MY ROAD

I was traveling life’s highway that seemed so right to go,
Its end of doom was certain, but that I did not know.
So God placed many warnings along the road I went
To warn of doom and judgment, a hell where eternity’s spent.
The first was many Scriptures, some which I memorized,
That spoke of love and mercy and of why Jesus died.
Then there were prayers of others who wanted me to know
That some day through God’s mercy I could to heaven go.
I also had a conscience that somehow said to me,
“The way you choose will lead you to shame and misery.”
The power of God’s Spirit kept working on my heart,
I could not flee the message that offered a new start.
At last all of God’s detours had led me to a hill
Where someone hung in anguish, and all was very still.
I knew that one was Jesus, I’d heard it many times,
But now upon life’s highway I knew He must be mine.
I called upon His name there, I trusted in His grace,
By turning at that detour, I know I’ll see His face!
I’m glad God placed those detours there in my road today
So I can walk a road now that follows in His way.
