A tight rope that we walk
As we learn the things of God
We balance oh so hard
As we get to know more
The rope lowers a bit
Closer to the ground it seem
Sometimes we can straddle it
Then we learn the things we must
With knowledge that can bring us Home
And the tight rope still pulled tight
But just lays there on the ground
At first you wonder what this means
For now you can walk where you chose
No rope is keeping you above the ground
Nor is it holding you in the air
You’ve learn free will from the stories
You know you have a choice
There are great and wonderful things
Out there a world you’ve not yet seen
You can peek at the things
Come right back, whats the harm
You know others who do just that
And say the teachings will protect you
Besides what’s free will, if you can’t use it
But no, it is not this the reason it’s given
To know the evil from the good
Reason tells me it’s the thing to do
So why, why is it so hard to go
The decision seems so clear
There is an entity that holds me here
Just why I do not know
I sit and I ponder the things I heard
And a feeling comes over me
One I have felt as I walk the rope
It’s the love of the Lord I feel here
For I have kept the promises
The covenants I hold true
I hold them dear and close to me
And now the Savior comes
To keep me from the world
And hold me close to him
To protect me and direct me
Just as we covenanted
I wonder some days
How different it would be
If I have walk over that line I knew
And left His hands so safe
But I continue to keep the covenants
And make more as my life progress
I follow the path I was put upon
And feel the Savior’s love
It’s a feeling the one cannot describe
Nor share with one another
But I can help another find that path
Then share in the light of His Love
