The Mapmaker
The map maker made a map
 And on it he charted everything out
 With a red ink pen
 On a blank sheet 
 This, I must say, was quite a feat 
 
 Each person had a distinct path 
 One to follow
 One that would last 
 They would all end up at the same place in time
 As long as their footsteps never wondered off the red line
 
 “Guide them” he said to the angels
 I fear that some of the dangers 
 They encounter in life might make them lose their way
 And when that happens 
 They must turn to me
 
 “I wish I had a map” 
 The girl thought to herself
 I wish I had everything figured out
 I wish I could just believe
 In what God has laid out for me
 
 But I have no compass to guide the way!
 And I get more and more scared every day! 
 
 She looked up at the starry night sky 
 And the beauty of the night made her cry
 And at that moment she knew 
 It would be okay to let go 
 And just follow
