Story behind the song
I spend summers at a children's camp and our them for the year was about following God. At a quiet time during the week, I sat down at a picnic table and God gave me most of this song. It has been in my notebook for a couple of years, and recently I brought it out and finished it.
Lyrics
I was on the highway of my day to day life,
I saw a man pulled off to one side,
I stopped my car and said to him,
Do you want a ride, do you want to hop in,
I'm kind of in a hurry.
and he said,
Which way are you travelin son
are you going somewhere or just havin fun
do you know your final destination
does the road you're on lead to a place
of life and love, peace and grace,
or do you see a "dead end" sign and the darkness beyond
which way are you travelin, son
I thought about his question and I looked on down the road
watching all the drivers pass me by
As they went along their way
I wondered where they'd end the day
and is that where I wanted to be
and I said....
chorus
We talked about directions as we drove on throught he night
He told me he'd been on this road before
but someone told him this one day,
"Jesus is the truth, the way,
Jesus is the life..."
and again he asked me,...
