Off the beaten path

There is a choice that is there to find

Beyond the road that ‘s well traveled

There is some quiet and peace of mind

Beyond life’s many distractions we follow

There is some great simplicity

A way to worship and practice

With a love for God as a way to be

Off the beaten path

Is the life that hears a call

And a devotion to the Lord

That is at the heart of it all

Life and all the lessons learned

Happens to all who live each day

how you choose to listen

is really your decision to make.

when you give yourself to God

what does God give back to you?

there is some mystery in the silence found

that is waiting there in the service you do

Off the beaten path

To live as a dove of the Lord

With a chalice held to the light

And the grace of living without and finding more

Is this a sacrifice you make

Or is it the truth of a simple and right

a very  blessed journey

Of being a hermit  in this life
