Last night when I started my prayer
"ask" God am I going to Heaven.
He put his hand on my shoulder,
"said" lets start from your begining.
We got upon this handcart
and started down this track.
I reached to take one handle,
but he said no just sit back.

You been down this road before,
so you just sit back and look.
He reached into his robe
took out this small handbook.
"Said" this is where it started,
bumpy for a day.
But thing's got better
as we went along the way.

The track had it's up's and down's
but wasn't really bad.
It was in your teen's
that you made me sad.
For when you reached your teen year's
you began to stray.
You found so many other thing's
you had no time to pray.

But I waited patiently
just to hear your praise.
Being with your family
I new how you were raised.
Well you were about twenty
when you almost left the track.
Then I didn't know,
if I would ever get you back.

Some how you kept it on the track
and got it strait once more.
That's when I knew, you would be back
to me again for sure.
Still the track's a little bumpy
as you go along you way.
Just remember all you have to do
is take the time to pray.

I ask him what's my chances,
or am I to late,
Jesus "said" the way I see you now
I'll be waiting at the gate.
So if you feel you don't have a chance
for God to take you back.
Then kneel down and ask him
to take you down the track.

Your in for quite a ride
God Bless
