Path to My Father's House

Take heed, my child, and grab my hand,
        don't look the other way.
For many give directions,
        that steer your love away.
They think they know my perfect will for you;
        when in fact they are deceived.
No one can chart your race to run,
        unless of course it's me!
I've sent the fivefold ministry to equip you,
        and then send you on your way.
For it is I alone who ran the race,
        that bought your victory!
So let them train you to set your steps on my Word,
        but the course belongs to me.
For you are all brothers and sisters,
        gifts to one another, don't you see.
You can not run someone else's race,
        for I alone provide your grace.
Enter my gates and step out in faith,
        that I may take you on your way.
For it is at my Father's house,
        your paths will meet in perfect unity.
My crown I will share with each who overcomes;
        by my blood
        and the word of their testimonies on their tongues.
