The joke goes, "When you come to a fork in the road...take it."  This song explores the struggle of the thought process of trying to decide which path to take in life when you get to those forks in the road.

The Path

(Proverbs 3:5-6)
by Kurtis A. Bueltmann

Intro:  D-D2   D-D2   D-D2   D
       D                                   G-----A
1. Wandering through this life of mine,
   D--------------A                Bm
Wondering which way to turn.
G                                      C
Sometimes I think I'm on top of the world,
                   A                             D-D2   D
But there's always something to learn.
D                          G
Which path is the way for me?
Bm                           G
Is my life a pawn of destiny?
A                               D
New doors open and old ones close.
G--------------------D A                       D-D2   D
Has my life been fate or a life that I chose?

Chorus:
G                 A                          D      Dsus-D-D2-D
Trust in the Lord with all your heart;
G      A                G               D-D2-D
Lean not on your own understanding.
       G                    A                   F#                    Bm
Acknowledge the Lord's hand in everything you do,
       G             D                   A    Asus-A
And He will straighten your path.
       G-Bm A                        (D)
And He will straighten your path.

2.  Big decisions come my way,
But how do I know what to choose?
The path of my life can be radically changed;
Will I win or will I lose?
I look to the left, turn to the right.
How do I discern what's wrong from right?
Opportunity passes by;
When do I step back, and when do I try?                              Chorus

      D  /          G---A              Bm-A
Bridge:                        For wide is the path
        G---Em       A
That leads to destruction,
       G                         Bm-A-G-A
But narrow is the path
        G---Bm G   /           A   /
That leads to life, eternal life through Jesus Christ.

3. Wandering through this life of mine,
Wondering which way to turn.
Sometimes I think I'm on top of the world,
But there's always something to learn.
I look at my life and there I see
All the things the Lord has done for me.
God has adapted His master plan
To make up for the faults in the life of this man.       Chorus
