Consider Your Ways
Reflections on Life's Journey: Consider Your Ways with Morgan Doran
Lyrics
Are you feeling alone
Addressing the listener's sense of loneliness.
Like you've lost your way
Expressing a feeling of being lost or disoriented.
Your far from home
Not physically close to one's home or comfort zone.
When is the last time you sang a song of praise
Questioning the last time the listener praised through song.
Longed for His embrace
Desiring the comforting embrace of a higher power (God).
Or even prayed
Asking about the frequency of prayer.
Are you feeling like your broken down
Feeling emotionally and spiritually shattered.
Like you don't have a purpose anymore
Sensing a lack of purpose and direction.
When is the last time you reached out in faith
Inquiring about the last time faith was actively exercised.
And said, Lord be with me today
Requesting the presence of the Lord in the current day.
Cause when we live without You
Highlighting the negative outcomes of living without God.
You don't take delight in anything we do
Emphasizing God's lack of delight in activities done without Him.
And when I do it on my own
Acknowledging self-reliance as opposed to relying on God.
This is a work of my flesh, it's not about You
Recognizing personal efforts as the product of the flesh, not God.
Consider your ways, you planted much but harvest little
Encouraging reflection on one's actions with minimal results.
Consider your ways, you eat and drink but are not satisfied
Pointing out dissatisfaction despite indulging in basic needs.
Consider your ways, you could have brighter days
Suggesting the potential for a better future.
Consider your ways, won't you go and try it His way
Encouraging trying God's way for improvement.
Consider, the path in which you'll take
Urging consideration of the life path chosen.
Will you walk by yourself or by His Strength
Decision between relying on personal strength or God's strength.
Consider, oh where you're at today
Prompting reflection on one's current state.
Repent now, you're not to far away
Calling for repentance, emphasizing proximity to redemption.
You're not to far away, You're never to far away
Emphasizing the never-too-far distance from God.
You're not alone now, help is on the way
Assuring the listener of companionship.
Take His hand now, sweet embrace awaits
Inviting the listener to accept divine support and embrace.
He will make all your crooked paths straight
Promise of guidance and correction of life's difficulties.
Consider your ways
Reiterating the central message: Reflect on and change your ways.
Consider your ways, you're onto brighter days
Expressing hope for a better future.
Consider your ways, won't you go and try it His way
Encouraging a shift towards God's way for improvement.
Consider your ways, this ol' bodies just a vapor
Highlighting the temporary nature of the physical body.
Consider your ways, rebuild His temple today
Encouraging the reconstruction of one's spiritual life.
Consider your ways, cause He's got a better way
Concluding with the assurance of a superior divine way.
