Today's Adventure
Not knowing what will happen when and where I'll be today
I might be sorely tempted to pursue another way
Than that that I have chosen as it may not be the best
Direction for my taking that will end the day with rest
It may lead to adventure in a place I've never been
Adventure of a nature that might take a course of sin
Or maybe to one person who for want of something new
Attacks me for no reason just for something new to do
Or maybe in my crossing from one place to where I'm bound
I'll find investigating something I had never found
While passing in that way before that's strangely different
And might have application to make life much more content
Like something of great value that can make my life complete
Can make my days seem all the better clear of all defeat
As daily I might relish in the treasure that I find
That helps me focus on that thing that leaves the old behind
But then I think now really do I need to find some thing
That offers me a future without pain or suffering
Or do I need to focus on what I already have
That brightens up my future with a more important path
That's already been determined if I trust the One Who's made
The path that leads to heaven for the Price already paid
That's laid out in the scriptures where my trail each day begins
That step by step and mile by mile has hills and dips and bends
But always has a purpose for those people who pursue
Each day as like none other in the things that they might do
To further for God's Kingdom that great work that must be done
To share with all the world abroad the work of Christ the Son
That soon will end in heaven in the Temple of the Lord
Where He has for two thousand years for that we can't afford
Given as intercession His pure Gift of Sacrifice
The blood He shed upon the cross that paid the greatest Price
But soon will cease His work there as He'll lay those robes aside
Those pure white priestly garment as no longer He'll abide
Within His Holy Temple but will come to earth once more
This time as Mighty Conqueror the God that we adore
James 5:1-20
