Path

You walk along a certain path
And everything seems right
You are at peace with what you are
The futures looking bright
Something then will come along
To change your point of view
Seemingly, you've got it wrong
What are you going to do.

You've been asking for the things
That you've already got
Jesus lives within your heart
So you have got the lot
It's your mind that needs to change
By studying God's word
Meditate on what He says
Into His love be lured.
