Down the Wrong Road

DOWN THE WRONG ROAD Spent all my youth Walking down the wrong road Until I finally found It was too heavy a load Then I found Jesus Or else He found me Was shown a new road Walked down it set free Walking down the wrong road Was such a bad choice Instead of listening to my conscience I listened to the other voice. It seemed to talk louder And promised such fun But I learnt there’s a price By either choice to be won. Walking down the wrong road Is now a thing of the past Trust and obedience With His power will last. He turns the old man Into a new being. Where once I was blind With awareness am now all-seeing.

Beautifully penned Maureen! When wrong choices are made things go awry but fortunately the path can change to the right one.
