If God Had Led the Easy Way

If God Had Led the Easy Way

If God had led the easy way
Which I had thought was best,
I wouldn’t be right here today
And wouldn’t be so blest.

If God had led the easy way
I would have never found
The depths of trust that leans on Him
And nothing else around.

If God had led the easy way
I would have gone astray –
My plans and dreams would not have brought
The joy I have today.

If God had led the easy way
I wouldn’t know my need
To daily lean upon His strength
And from myself be freed.

If God had led the easy way
That looked so good to me,
He only knows what troubles lay
Beyond what I could see.

Lord, thank you for the perfect way
That You have planned in love
So I can learn to walk with You
And reach my home above.
