Was thinking about how difficult it is to hear God's still, small voice in this fast-paced world.

I've been thinking about what God's Will and direction is for me in my life. Writing Songs, Novels, working with kids, being a Dad. So many irons in the fire, and God has a plan for me.


He has one for you, too.

Red Light, Green Light
(c)2009 Christopher M Solaas

It seems the closer I get to You,
The further I want to get from me
I'm like a broken toy
That brings no joy!
Lord, won't you fix me?
You motion me to draw nearer still
To follow Your path, and seek out Your will
I want to do what's right, but it's such a fight
Here within me...

Chorus:
Like playing red light, green light, stop and go!
I want to draw close, but I never know
When I'll step the wrong way,
And You'll softly say
Child, Stop and pray!
Then You'll give the green light and I'll go
Wherever You lead, I will follow
But deep within my heart
All this 'Stop and Start'
is like playing Red Light, Green Light, Stop and Go!

It seems, the longer I walk in Your way,
The clearer I see this game we play
I'll hear Your still, small voice, and make the right choice
Your word will let me know
Each decision I make in this day
Could be a step in Your will, or a step away
But as You lead me on, You'll tell me, 'right' or 'wrong',
Stop or Go...


Chorus:
Like playing red light, green light, stop and go!
I want to draw close, but I never know
When I'll step the wrong way,
And You'll softly say
Child, Stop and pray!
Then You'll give the green light and I'll go
Wherever You lead, I will follow
But deep within my heart
All this 'Stop and Start'
is like playing Red Light, Green Light, Stop and Go!

But deep within my heart
All this 'Stop and Start'
is like playing Red Light, Green Light, Stop and Go!
