The Road Not Taken

You needn't fret nor worry bout me, you go on and finish your lunch
I surely understand that you can not see and it's more than a hunch
I'm simply going about my own way that which is His Way of course
But you needn't discern what I say for not even He would ever force

The life guards all just sitting there, knowing truly how far you are
But they will all say we don't care, even though you are really far
As you drift things change slowly to where you won't even notice
But the life guards easily see, for the danger they just can't miss

Why are you so offended by the Savior Who Put you here on Earth
All of us need to be mended a process started 9 months before birth
But the only Hope that He gave us, the great Gift of Eternal Salvation
Who wouldn't be raising a fuss but instead to you it's all aggravation

Just go back to where you were as I just knock the dust off my feet
And even though we don't concur I would never hold you in deceit
Besides someone else will come along, aggravating just as such
For by His Love in You so strong, He is always going to try to touch
