I long to walk on God’s highway of holiness (Isaiah 35:8), but I realize that the older I get, the pull towards selfishness and pride never goes away . . . . if anything it only increases with time! Crossing the ‘40’ threshold this past year sure brought it home! And the snare of fear also remains close by in our fallen world and too often in my heart. . . and so I continue to pray that God would banish (I love that strong old fashioned word) my fear in His love . . . the perfect love of God!

I think this is the only song I have ever written that can be played with 3 chords (‘Holy God’ is close; it has 4 chords repeating and it can be sung as a round).

The first time I sang this song, I sang ‘I don’t want to take the wrong road’ . . . until I realized that not taking the ‘wrong’ road wasn’t what I wanted to say to God . . . it’s not so much about taking a right or wrong road, but about not taking the selfish me-centered one! I want to be on God’s road!
