There are forks in the road - v2
Our lives are not a straight path
smooth sailing, untrammeled,
without troubles, problems,
every day of our lives;
there are forks in the road
there are detours, road closures;
we wander in the wilderness,
in our own times of desert,
we become lost in our spirits,
prodigals, separated from God.
We wander, we are prodigals,
lost sons and daughters
far from our home;
we struggle, we journey
we wander, we sojourn,
on the road, out in the world.
There are forks in the road
places of decision, of choices,
there are detours, road closures
sometimes we run into walls, dead ends;
but Christ made a way for us
a path through the desert, a way
for us to turn from our wandering;
Christ made a doorway, a gate,
a way for us to come home
to the Father, to our loving God.
