My Road Map ~

The Word is my road map,
that guides me along my way
leading me with great wisdom
to help me through my day.

When I am at a crossroad,
not sure of the way to go
I ask Jesus for directions
so the true way I will know.

When I find I’m too weary,
to make it down the road
I pray for His endurance
to help me with my load.

When I get off His path,
and I wander on my own
I get down on my knees
till His way for me is shown.

Yes, the Word is our road map,
the perfect guide for each of us
but we must read the scriptures
if in Jesus we’re going to trust!

 2 Timothy 3:16
King James Version

“All scripture is given by inspiration of God,
and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof,
for correction, for instruction in righteousness:”

I Hear His Voice ~

Jesus calls my name,
I hear His voice . . .
oh, how this knowledge
makes me rejoice.

I talk with Him,
He walks with me
together we journey
through the valley.

Over the hills we go,
climb up to their tops
we travel together
making plenty of stops.

That’s when I learn,
to follow His way
of face the danger
of going astray.

Jesus calls my name,
His voice I hear . . .
He beckons to me
to stay to Him near!

John 10:27
King James Version

“My sheep hear my voice,
and I know them,
and they follow me:”

If The Lord Is Our Shepherd ~

If the Lord is our Shepherd,
then why do we still want?
If He supplies all our needs,
then why do our lacks still taunt?

If besides still waters He leads,
then why do we still fear?
If He fills us with quietness,
then why is it not here?

If green pastures bring peace,
then why are we still stressed?
If He leaves us not lacking,
then why don’t we feel blessed?

If He restores our soul,
then why do we still doubt?
If He satisfies our deep thirst,
then why is their still a drought?

If in righteousness He guides,
then why do we still wander?
If the Lord is your True Shepherd,
these things . . .
we would not have to ponder!

Psalm 23:1-3
King James Version

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness
for his name’s sake.
