There Is a Way---Prov 14:12

"There Is A Way---Prov. 14:12"


There is a way that seems right unto a man
but the end thereof are the ways of death!
His destiny is part of a greater Plan
from his first to his very last breath!

But the end thereof are the ways of death.
A man's free will does allow him to choose
from his first to his very last breath
whether he is happy or he sings the blues!

A man's free will does allow him to choose
not just direction but also the path.
Whether he is happy or he sings the blues,
he brings himself blessings or sometimes wrath!

Not just direction but also the path,
it's the choice between darkness or the Light!
He brings himself blessings or sometimes wrath
if he chooses the wrong instead of the right!

It's the choice between the darkness or the Light.
This decision for himself everyman makes!
If he chooses the wrong instead of the right
instead of moving forward, his life slams on the brakes!

This decision for himself everyman makes.
Nothing is ever left at all to chance!
Instead of going forward his life slams on the brakes!
A self inflicted sudden stop circumstance!

Nothing is ever left at all to chance.
His destiny is part of a greater Plan!
A self inflicted sudden stop circumstance?
There is a way that seems right unto a man!

How true! My poem "Your choice" talks on the same theme:) If only man would choose that "greater Plan" for himself, it will not lead to eternal death:)
