The Dirt Road
In walking down that dirt road she felt something inside
As with time this never did erode even if it was set aside
For it has been such a while since she had felt this way
Usually when life has you on trial is when we forget to pray
But today it fluttered back like a butterfly against the wind
Seeing how she lacked, measured by the times she sinned
Suddenly how small she'd feel walking that tiny dirt road
Like layers would peel all by the One to whom all is owed
So long since it was used yet it has never shined so bright
And where she used to be confused now she's seeing Light
What a gift she was given, one that had never left her side
Even in the days of bad living and being filled up with pride
As all of that was swept away before she could blink an eye
Just in the words she would say and how she began to cry
For the time had been so long and she had grown so weak
With such a sense of love so strong she could barely speak
Romans 14:11
For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord,
every knee shall bow to me,
and every tongue shall confess to God
