I did not choose this path
You chose it for me
Yet I chose to follow You
Even when I could have left the path for the appealing ease of the flowery meadows
The cliffs are steep, the rivers deep
The rocks cause me to stumble
Yet they remind me that You are the Rock
I desire to please You
Your love surrounds me
It changes my perspective
Cliffs are challenges, to listen for Your voice for where to climb
Rivers are places of trust where I have the opportunity to learn to swim
And rocks keep me from running too fast
And the greenery of the forest keeps me refreshed
the tallness of the trees keeps me looking up
At Your Son who smiles down on me
Not because I have stayed on the Path
But because You have chosen me to be Your child
I am chosen.
