ALBUM: Amazing Joy 'n' Choices
Song location: http://DianaDeeOsborneSongs.com/Songs-2008-2012.php
Song Story: THE MUSIC:
It's not hard to tell that this was a “playing around with instruments and let's see what happens” song. You're not likely to find a mix of bird calls and rain falls and bongos and plucky basses and crazy voices calling “Follow the Yellow Brick Road” in another song! Not my talent..... I was just experimenting and I'm confident it was God who guided me to some fun sounds for this parable about Him. I enjoy being different but Fun Crazy is our Creator's gift!
Song Story: THE LYRICS:
The song concept came after mild annoyance with the GPS that someone gave me.... And suddenly laughing at the idea question of any need for a GPS that would sing out
FOLLOW THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD,
FOLLOW THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD,
FOLLOW THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD....
Dedicated to our Guiding, calling God, 25 August 2010.
LYRICS
INTRO -- crazy voices calling out "FOLLOW THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD"LYRICS
1a (happy)
Oh, the Yellow Brick Road is wide and very pretty.
No hard stones. Not overgrown with weeds or painful, sharp thorns.
The Yellow Brick Road is very popular and well-known.
1b (minor key)
Jesus said "You must take the narrow path and follow Me.
Yellow Brick Roads are popular, and easy, but they lead
you to your death. I, Jesus, am The Only Way to Life.
The other ways look easy.
They DEAD-END. CHOOSE LIFE!"
2a (happy)
Yes, the Narrow Path looks easy with a lot of people. BUT
John 14:6 is where Jesus said He's the One Way to God.
No Yellow Brick Road leads to God: Matthew 7: 14.
2b (minor key)
Jesus said "If you seek Me, you will find Me --- WON'T be lost.
I will help you. Don't take easy wide brick roads.
Let Me lead. I WILL help you.
I, Jesus, am God AND your Way to Life.
The other ways look easy.
They DEAD-END. CHOOSE LIFE!"
TAG [spoken, New King James Version]
Deuteronomy 30: verses 19 and 20, God tells EACH of us:
"I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose LIFE!....”
In Romans 11, God explains why every promise to His people of Israel is also a promise to those us in the 21st Century and beyond and before. Romans 11:11 - AN EASY PATTERN:
"Did God's people [Jews, Israel] stumble and fall beyond recovery? Of course not! They were disobedient, so God made salvation available to the Gentiles. But he wanted his own people to become jealous and claim it for themselves. Now if the Gentiles were enriched because the people of Israel turned down God's offer of salvation, think how much greater a blessing the world will share when they finally accept it."
God's SUPPORTING WORDS:
Second Peter 3, verse 9: God yearns for us ALL to be saved. YOU TOO.Jeremiah 29:11-14. When we SEEK, we WILL find the wonderful path that God has planned for us. And wherever we are, wherever we fall in the ditch and get stuck, God will rescue us as soon as we call to Him and ask, "God, please help."
