I do not typically upload stuff like this, but this song my son Elijah sang at our recent annual meetings was just too much not to share. It was written by David Patillo about a man who had decided it was just too hard to serve the Lord so he was going to quit. However, he loved the Lord, so he at least wanted to thank the Lord one more time for all He had done for him. However, the more he thanked the Lord, the more he realized he couldn’t live without Him. Sometimes all we need to do is thank God for the things He has done to realize He’s still there, still able, and still in control. God bless you saints!
Bro Jeff
This road has been a rocky one
At times I thought all help was gone
But somehow You were always there to see me though
In situations of despair
I called and always found You there
I must confess, Your Love for me has been true
I just don’t have a reason, that would justify my leaving, all this way of life I’ve known with You behind
But like a long day in the summer sun
This walk of life becomes a run
And quitting time weighs heavy on my mind
But it’s one more "I love You Jesus"
One more "Thanks for helping bear my load"
One more time I will thank You for the things You have done
Let me thank You once more for the road…
This road has been a rocky one
But then again, I’ve had a lot of fun
If I compare I know the good outweighs the bad
A foe or two along the way
I guess a few are here to stay
But thank You for the faithful Friend I’ve had
Now there have been times I said I’d quit
But I am not that crazy yet
For You have been the Dearest Friend of mine
Just let me get down on my knees and pray
And everything will be Ok
Without You Lord I know I’d lost my mind
"OnceRoad"Elijah
