The Bend In The Road

Sometimes we come to life's crossroads

And we view what we think is the end. 

But God has a much wider vision,

And He knows it's only a bend.

The road will go on and get smoother

And after we've stopped for a rest,

The path that is hidden beyond us

Is often the path that is best.

So rest, and relax, and grow stronger;

Let go, and let God share your load,

And have faith in a brighter tomorrow:

You've just come to a bend in the road.
