The Missing Ingredient
Sometimes you need to take a decision,
Sometimes you need to make a concession;
And even when everything looks right to the sight,
There’s still a voice within
Telling you things are really not as they seem.
**************************************
It doesn’t matter how long you look at it,
All the pieces simply seem to fit;
“So why can’t I just say yes
And have everything swing into full process?”
There is but one thing lacking,
Something that definitely needs tackling.
**************************************
It could be that new guy
That can get you everything money can buy;
He’s so intelligent and charming
And even his smile is disarming;
But one way or the other,
You can’t seem to go any further.
**************************************
Or could it be that dream job
That places you in the ‘happening’ club?
The pay is tight and the days are right,
But inside of you, it seems there’s a fight.
**************************************
Or maybe it’s that business deal
That really does seem real,
You’d even look like a fool
If you miss an opportunity so cool;
But until you get that missing Ingredient,
You’d be better off if you never went
**************************************
So what’s the Ingredient I’ve been writing about
That should determine whether you’re in or you’re out?
That Ingredient that makes you confident
And no matter what happens,
Your Spirit never dampens
**************************************
That Ingredient is the Voice of the Lord
That leads you according to His Word;
It makes you know you’re on the right track,
It makes you know God’s got your back
**************************************
So when next there’s a step to take,
When next there’s a decision to make,
Wait for that Ingredient because it’s what you need
And you’ll definitely be glad that you did!
