When I look back on my road of life And consider where I've been I simply sit and shake my head On my face a little grin There where days when I thought I'd quit This pathway seemed to steep I'd try to take a detour Forgetting this path was paved for my feet Each stepping stone was wisely placed By the architect and builder Nothing in my path was placed To throw my life off kilter Each step was carefully measured He already knew my stride size He knew when I would stop and sit And where I needed shade to shield my eyes Handholds were strategically planned Each the perfect size of my hand My every need was covered in His plan Such was the wisdom of this great man Sometimes when I felt alone A friends path He'd cross with mine So the encouragement they shared Was given by His ultimate design There were moments I do admit I thought this path was wrong I figured I could find my way This road was just too long So a different way I'd try to go
