The Path of Life
The path of life is very hard,
You always have to be on guard.
The devil will hurl his darts at you,
And if you’re not careful they'll wound, you too.
Sometimes we think we can win the fight,
We battle long, day and night.
But in the end we're still overtaken,
Because the whole way we've been mistaken.
God didn't expect us to fight alone,
We need not have struggled moaned and groaned.
If we'd listened to him at the start
The still small voice that speaks to our heart.
He showed us the map, He told us the way,
He said by our side He was willing to stay.
But instead we made a start
And left him right out of our heart.
So in the morning when you awake
Before your bed you do make,
Get down on your knees and whisper a prayer,
Tell God you need his help to get there.
If you leave Christ out of your life
You'll end up in some terrible strife.
