Life's Highways

I set out on life's highways Wandering here and there.
Never knowing who to turn to I felt such bitterness and despair.

I could not find happiness.
In my life was so much pain.
I seemed to live from moment to moment.
Nothing ever remained the same.

Then one day as I was walking I heard someone call"Why don't you turn
everything over to me?
I want to be your all in all."

I felt a battle raging.
Which way do I go The broad and wide highway
Or the narrow seldom used road?

Then I saw someone beckoning Come down this little road.
I felt peace love and compassion A lightening of my load.

I felt a Holy presence Learned that Jesus was His name ~
How He gave His life and all for me.
I will never be the same.

Life sometimes still feels tough.
But I learned just what to do.
Call on the name of Jesus
Because He is always there for you!
