On life’s highway there’s no reversing
For its bends ahead there’s no rehearsing
But steer we must as we move ahead
Trusting in God who has capably led.
Check your speed; don’t go too fast
Thinking you’ve come this way in the past
A tight turn may take you unawares
So drive with the Master; let Him steer.
Trust me you’ve not passed this way before
Our Guide impresses upon us more and more
Though it seems familiar it’s not the same
You cannot reverse and come again.
Only one lifetime to get it right
But ample opportunity to drive in the Light
For in Jesus there’s light, no darkness at all
Just stay on cue and respond to his call.
Many a wreck you will come upon
But you need not be one if you follow the Son
And perchance you have an accident or two
Don’t despair he will take you through.
A glance in the mirror but just a glance
Don’t with past success become too entranced
Driving is forward not backwards I say
Too long in the mirror and you’ll miss the way.
Note the one-way sign saying Jesus is the way
Enquire of the Holy Spirit who’s in you to stay
Check your road map each and every day
And from the straight and narrow do not stray.
The rest of your drive might be steep or flat
Just remember easy street is full of traps
But I assure you if you allow the Master to steer
He’ll take care of all your threats and all your fears.
