The Right Lane

The Right Lane

I travel in the right lane wherever I go...
Some drive fast but I drive slow.

I drive the speed limit wherever I go...
and how I do it people are eager to know.

Some impatient people jester and others just blow their horn..
But I was driving the right lane before many of these people were born.

I am in my own little world as I drive along...
and sometimes I whistle or just sing a song.

The right lane is handy and serves me well...
and life for me, without Jesus, is a living hell.

So I get in the right lane and set my course...
and for me travel in this lane is better than riding on a horse.

I drive in the right lane when I am on the road...
Even if I have or don't have a load.

When he took flying lessons, however, and flew me high in the sky, I was comforted by the fact that he is a slow, methodical driver. That proved to make me feel safe when we were off the ground.
