Driven

Comparing myself to a transmission Lord, I pray You keep it in drive,
So each day I keep advancing, toward the reason I am alive,
For I can't make any progress, if I try to live life in reverse,
But I pray that in the middle of Your will Lord, my soul would be immersed,
And I can't stay in park or neutral, and just let life pass me by,
Because if I'm going to help build God's kingdom, then I can't ever be shy,
For life is not to be lived, by driving down a wide six lane freeway,
It is drawn toward perfection, by traveling the straight and narrow way,
And Lord Your Word, the Bible, is a wonderful guide,
To keep me in Your presence, where I ever want to abide,
I know You will not steer me wrong, in anything I say and do,
Just as I need to watch the road while driving, Lord I will keep my eyes on You.
