God Has Always Blessed Me

God Has Always Blessed Me
By Franklin Price

God has always blessed me
Has always shown the way
Didn't say I always followed
Sometimes lost from day to day

Thought I knew a little better
Of the places I should be
Of the ways that I should travel
Of the things that I should see

Of what I should experience
Now I better understand 
That what God had to offer
Was a gift without demand

He let me have a little rein
To see what I would do
But tightened up when needed
For he was coming too

“Watch out where you're going”
More than once I heard him speak
“Let me do a little steering
I will take you where you seek”

That's how I got to where I am
Think often how I've gotten here
And where in life I would have been
Without my God to steer

Have everything I need in life
Would like to live it for awhile
Won't ignore the pulling on the reins
As he guides me mile to mile

And  when the trip is over
When all is said and done
We'll sit and talk of how we did
Until the setting of the sun

I find this so beautiful, Franklin. God will always be at our right hand, if we want him to be with us. He offers us everything, but gives us free will to choose our path. There is a big difference between our wants and our needs. He gives us our needs if we follow him. Thank you for writing this...saving it.

Lin, I wrote this at 3:00 AM this morning. I had to do it then or it would not have happened. I think I had just a little pulling on the reins. glad you enjoyed and understood.
