A Favorite Song

PARADE

Life rolls down the street right in front of me
Marchin' to the rhythm of its own
Up, down, I feel like I'm living' on a slide trombone
Watchin' it all with my heart parked in a tow-away zone
You never really know what's comin' up next
If you blink it'll pass you by
Right when you think you've seen it all - Surpise!

You see the whole parade
From the beginning to the end
You know the route that my life will take
You know exactly where I've been
'Cuz while I only see what's goin' by in front of me
You see the whole parade

Left, right
Look straight ahead everybody in step
Some days I'm leader of the band
Left turn
Should've gone right now here I am
Walkin' behind the horses with a shovel in hand
Life is fine I'm holdin' the line
On an 80 foot Winnie the Pooh
Then the wind begins to blow - Watcha gonna do?

You see the whole parade
From the beginning to the end
You know the route that my life will take
You know exactly where I've been
I need to look to You
For the choices I will make
'Cuz while I only see what's goin' by in front of me
You se the whole parade


I sometimes latch on to a song and play it over and over (sometimes this drives my kids crazy!) Right now it is this song by go fish

I guess I just feel like I totally relate it. I do only see what's going on in front of me but isn't refreshing to know God sees the whole parade? He knows where it starts and ends and even when I get off track. Of course some of those off track moments have found me with a shovel in my hand but that's ok. And then there are also the times when I feel like everything is just fine and then the winds blow. .... Doesn't it just seem true, too, that just when we've seen it all we are surprised by something we didn't anticipate. Give me a few days and I will find a different song to play over and over but for now....GO FISH!
