What Path Would Love Now Have Me Start To Tread?

What path would Love now have me start to tread?
Your words spur; let my feet follow your lead.
The world, it groans; God’s love needs to be spread.

Yet once again, I find a thing thought dead.
The loneliness; is this what truth can breed?
What path would Love now have me start to tread?

My words, my time, my soul, my love, my head
I give you. Please give these to those in need.
The world, it groans; God’s love needs to be spread.

For hope I pray, and yet, my hope is wed
With fear--The Way is littered with a weed!
What path would Love now have me start to tread?

For change I pray. "This day my daily bread"
Cannot be heard by men consumed with greed.
The world, it groans; God's love needs to be spread.

For love I pray. These two raise me from bed:
When Earth's destroyed and men cry to be freed.
What path would Love now have me start to tread?

For them I pray. For souls and bleeding hearts
The only food is Your inspiring Love.
The world, it groans; God's love needs to be spread.
What path would Love now have me start to tread?

This is extraordinary in its simple message of surrender. These are words that must be asked if one is truly intent on pleasing God. Well done! Sincerely, Donna
