It was so hard for me to let go of all of my wants and desires for Veronica, and to accept what God had in store for her and our family. At one point Sheila told me that she couldn't get the song "God's Way Is Best" out of her mind. As I thought about the lyrics of this song, this wasn't just something that God had allowed, but it was His best for us. This song has been much more meaningful to our family since that time.
God’s way is best; if human wisdom
A fairer way may seem to show,
’Tis only that our earth-dimmed vision
The truth can never clearly know.
Refrain:
God’s way is best, I will not murmur,
Although the end I may not see;
Where’er He leads I’ll meekly follow,
God’s way is best, is best for me.
Had I the choosing of my pathway,
In blindness I should go astray,
And wander far away in darkness,
Nor reach that land of endless day.
He leadeth true; I will not question,
Though through the valley I shall go;
Though I should pass through clouds of trial,
And drink the cup of human woe.
God’s way is best; heart, cease thy struggling
To see and know and understand;
Forsake thy fears and doubts, but trusting,
Submit thyself into His hand.
Thy way is best, so lead me onward,
My all I give to Thy control;
Thy loving hand will truly guide me,
And safe to glory bring my soul.
I'm using my bible for a road map
The ten commandments tell me what to do
The twelve disiples are my road signs
And Jesus will see me safely through
Chorus
There'll be no detours in heaven
No rough roads along the way
I'm using my bible for a road map
My last stop is heaven somesweet day
I'm using my bible for a road map
The children of Israel used it to
They crossed the red sea of destruction
But God was there to see them safely through
I'm using my bible for a road map
No sattelites to fail or be shot down
His word is hidden in my heart now
It works with no GPS around
I'm using my bible for a road map
This journey I'm traving you can too
Just put your trust and faith in Jesus
And He'll be there to see you safely through
