I’ve been sitting here thinking,
Of my life up to now,
The many roads I’ve traveled,
As I was searching how.
I could make it into heaven,
And really what it took,
And it came to me quite suddenly,
The way is in THE BOOK.
Yes, I’ve stumbled quite a lot,
As I’ve wandered through this life,
There were times I didn’t care
If what I did was wrong’ or right.
Somehow God was patient,
Each time His plan I forsook,
And I didn’t pay attention
To what was written in THE BOOK.
Now I thank God for His mercy,
For watching over me each day,
For sending His son, Jesus,
To show us all the way.
I thank Him most of all, though,
For causing me to look,
For I always knew the answer
Would be written in THE BOOK.
