Small thing maybe, but then again, not...

God looks upon you with favor today
He rejoices you are His child
He tenderly reaches out
And clears a path for you
You observe from a distance and ponder,
Can I trust the path?
What if danger lurks?
What if it isn't what I expect?
All the while God patiently awaits
And you wait...
And you ponder...
And time ticks by
Later you revisit the path
It is barely visible for weeds have overgrown
You turn and walk the other way
Still pondering
And time ticks by
You again revisit the once clear path
Yet now the landscape has changed
There is no path
Where once lay the path
Now, a city
You drop your head
For it is too late
Your heart sinks
With regret and despair
But with God all things are possible
He looks upon you with favor
He rejoices you are His child
He tenderly reaches out
And clears a path for you
You observe from a distance and ponder
You approach for a closer view
Your heart is quickened with a spark of hope
Maybe, just maybe.....
As you take the first step
This time I will trust
Even if there is danger
Even if it isn't what I expect
He looks upon me with favor
He joys over me with singing
He tenderly reaches out
I will grasp His hand
And surrender to Him
In thee O Lord will I put my trust
