God takes me on adventures,
Skipping through the trees,
With the sunshine glistening through the branches
and vibrant flowers emerging from below
to temporarily encircle the trunks, solid and constant
God takes me on adventures
Barefoot on deserted beaches
Throwing stones into the sea
On the edge of the earth
As the tide comes in and out
God takes me on adventures
Where sometimes I get a little lost
Taking this turn and that
Finding myself, it seems
Exactly where I started
God takes me on adventures
Where I don't always want to go
Where I pass by sights that disturb
And leave me feeling helpless
Drained by compassion when I can't adequately respond
God takes me on adventures
Leading me into the unknown
Finding new paths through the undergrowth
Where the brambles have grown high
And catch my skin as I struggle through
God takes me on adventures
To places that others warn are dangerous
Places where the traveller can't take
All the comforts of their usual life
And the security they give
God takes me on adventures
To see amazing sights
That dazzel my eyes
And excite my imagination
Through there sheer intensity
God takes me on adventures
Where I meet other travellers
Facinating people with interesting stories
Of their adventures over time
Battling animals, fighting wars and chilling in the sun
God takes me on adventures
Where I learn new skills
New ways of earning my daily bread
New ways of doing things I find hard
New skills I'll have forever
God takes me on adventures
That I would never attempt without a guide
Through places where cartographers are yet to map
Through places of beauty, pain and struggle
Where every human emotion is found
God takes me on adventures
Does God take you on adventures too?
