Sometimes the railroad tracks of life change,

a new path lies ahead, that leaves us feeling strange.

The lever is pulled and our lives are turned upside down,

we look right and left and nothing familiar is around.

Why did my path change, I was doing just fine,

but now my plans are being realigned.

Why does it seem the farther we travel the heavier the load?

The map ahead shows a curving, twisting, winding road.

So why oh why did God chose this for me?

Does He not remember that I am worth more than a bee or flea?

I don’t like this new path and plan,

can we just go back to before this change began?

We cry out “Help me, Save me, Guide me, Oh Lord.”

Then we feel a hand leading us down the track we've so long ignored

Suddenly the path we are on seems to not be so obscure,

this rail like never before seemed to be pure and assured.

My old plans turned gray and I began to dream new dreams bigger than before,

I no longer fear the changes; I know now that I am adored.

Track changes will come and go,

and the lever will be pulled more times than we know.

But God has a plan for each one,

even if our plans are not yet intricately spun.

He holds our future in His hands

and for that reason alone through change, I stand.
