So together we stand at life’s crossroads

And view what we think is the end,

But God has a much bigger vision

And he tells us it’s only a bend.

For the road goes on and is smoother,

And the pause in the song is a rest.

And the part that’s unsung and unfinished

Is the sweetest and richest and best.

So rest and relax and grow stronger.

Let go and let God share your load,

Your work is not finished or ended,

You’ve just come to a bend in the road.
