Destiny's own path


Galatians 5:1 

Christian Liberty

5 Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.

 

Destiny’s own path

 

Plans made yesterday now all forgotten

as destiny’s own path ... leads me by the hand.

No reason to fight or momentarily disagree

what will be will be ... history repeated

 

What would have been ... if I had not begotten

the freedom of choice ... for the promised land?

Who in reality then would have heard my plea

would not all of my life have been defeated?

 

What colors would I perceive in all my wandering?

What taste would leave ... traces in my mouth?

Would I wear a headband ... called “satisfaction”?

Would I not be branded ... as someone else’s man?

 

Who would remove the uncertainty of all my wondering?

Who would lift me up ... far above the clouds?

Who would slowly mold me into perfection?

Who could place Eternity in me ... as only He can?
