Just a Bend in the Road
When we feel we have nothing left to
give,
And we are sure that the song has ended,
When our day seems over and the
shadows fall,
And the darkness of night has
descended,
Where can we go to find the strength
to valiantly keep on trying?
Where can we find the hand that will
dry
the tears that the heart is crying?
There's but one place to go and that is
to God,
And, dropping all pretense and pride,
We can pour out our problems without
restraint,
And, gain strength with Him at our side
And together we stand at life's
crossroads,
And view what we think is the end,
But God has a much bigger vision
And he tells us it's only a bend.
For the road goes on and is smoother,
And the pause in the song is a rest,
And the part that's unsung and
unfinished
Is the sweetest and richest and best.
So rest and relax and grow stronger,
Let go and let God share your load,
Your work is not finished or ended,
You've just come to a bend in the road.
