Map of Love

There’s nothing certain, nothing written down,
although His law is written on my heart;
it isn’t clear if they will smile or frown,
yet there is no success without a start.

All things are written, says the Eastern way,
yet I’m sure I decide my destiny;
God’s Providence for all must have its say,
though even with its weight, I still am free.

Life’s so confusing and so all mixed up,
it’s hard to see the wrong in what is right,
yet sure I am it’s He Who fills my cup,
and positive I need His guiding light.

I see by eyes of faith Your map of love,
I’m certain help, O Lord, comes from above.
