A Car Drive

Categories: Life

Life is like being in a car
Following roads – near and far
If the Lord is my driver
I have time to observe
Notice those around whom I can serve.
If I decide to drive myself
I have to concentrate; have no time to see
The suffering, hurting, weary ones
People who have need of me.
So today I say “Lord take the wheel
Your perfect will for me fulfil
Drive me to where I can be
Of help to someone who really needs me,”
And I will have real joy and peace
Because I am in the passenger seat.
