The Map And The Highway, Proverbs 16 9

Proverbs 16 9

Open in the Worship Library

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I drew a map out in the dark

Sitting in my car down at the park

I had my goals, I had my pride

I thought I’d take this world for a ride

I held the wheel, I chose the lane

Chasing sunshine through the rain

[Chorus]
A man can plan his course all day

Draw the lines and pick the way

But Jesus guides the steps we take

Every turn and choice we make

I drop the map, I let it go

He holds the road I do not know

[Verse 2]
The highway twists, the road turns wind

Leaving all my young dreams far behind

The engine stalled, the night grew long

I realized where I went wrong

You can’t control the driving rain

Without the Lord to ease the pain

[Chorus]
A man can plan his course all day

Draw the lines and pick the way

But Jesus guides the steps we take

Every turn and choice we make

I drop the map, I let it go

He holds the road I do not know

[Bridge]
Out on that long and lonely mile

I stopped to rest a little while

I laid my heavy burdens down

Right here on this dusty ground

No more running on my own

I ain't walking this path alone

[Verse 3] (Call to Faith and Salvation)
So Lord, I turn my heart around

I lost my way, but now I’m found

Forgive my sins, clear out my past

Jesus Christ, I'm home at last

I surrender all to You today

Be my Savior, lead the way

[Chorus]
A man can plan his course all day

Draw the lines and pick the way

But Jesus guides the steps we take

Every turn and choice we make

I drop the map, I let it go

He holds the road I do not know

[Outro]
Yeah, He holds the road

Every single step

Jesus, You're my Lord

Yeah, Jesus, You're the Way

Let the engine roll

Home at last
