God Is In Control

One hand upon the steering wheel

The other is resting upon the door frame

My GPS is telling me where to go

I feel like I’m in total control

 

The sun is shining upon me

It’s warming my skin

Today is one of those days

That I could make anything happen

 

To make this day even better

There needs to be music blaring

So I reach to turn on the radio

DJ, play all of my favorite songs

 

That’s when it happened

I was so in the zone

That I didn’t see

The deer right in front of me

 

I saw him turn his head to look right at me

And I swear he looked right into my soul

He stood tall, refusing to budge

In a panic, I slammed on the brakes

 

That’s when I cried out

Lord, please help me!

I need You, please take control

I can’t get through this on my own

 

As my car skidded closer

The more frightened I became

And the faster my tears fell

Please Lord, let this be a tale I live to tell

 

It was as if the deer heard my pleas to God

He looked at me one last time and then fled

My car came to a stop in the middle of the road

I pulled over to the side to regain composure

 

How funny, in the blink of an eye

One’s direction in life can do a total 180

It could have been my turn to say goodbye

To have been parted from this world

 

But God heard me, heard my heart

He told me my time is not yet done

I know it was not by my will that I survived

It is God that was and always is in control
