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 pretence 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 cross roads 

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.
