Is It Predetermined Fate

Is It Predetermined Fate?
By Franklin Price

Is it predetermined fate?
Does God watch over me?
Does what I do all have a date?
Is what will be, will be?

Is my way my choice to make
as roads branch left and right?
Do I choose which way to take;
which way my torch will light?

I believe my path my own choice
as I move along the way.
God contributes with his voice;
suggests what I should do or say

May choose to speak the words I'm told
take the way that heaven sent,
or choose by myself and be so bold
and maybe be hell bent

God gives us all the right to choose;
the way to go or speak,
to take the low or higher roads,
He offers us a peek 

Provides us all with history
of what others chose to do.
What happened to them we can see;
gives choice to me and you

We've arrived here through our choices; 
chose God's way or maybe not.
Listened to his, or other voices,
now what we see is what we've got.

If what you see makes your eyes glisten
With much happiness and love
I believe you mostly listened
To God's voice from up above.
