	My ego and arrogance always drove me to turn around and fix the wreckage of my past. We know that is impossible for what is done is done. God wants us to walk ahead and become a testimony of his love, his honor, and his mercy. The dark, shadowy, painful road behind us has already conquered many. Why return? "The Road Ahead" awaits us all.

	Story Behind the Song An extremely moving verse written by Ken concerning his long, painfull road to spirituality and God. Very intense, haunting and moving. Copyright 2000 Jeff Pike Music- BMI Lyrics The Road Ahead I could always see the path even though I sometimes strayed. My dream, a vision of what I hoped to be, God provided it one dday. As I succeeded in man's world I turned away from the Godly path. I walked away from his Holy road map and blindly walked into man's wrath. I walked away from my rock that all was built upon and I chose a path made of sand. I watched my dream, my vision, run away like water flowing through open hands. All was gone before I realized, his word's filled my frail hand's gaps. I looked all around but there was nothing. I no longer knew where I was at. I turned around to find my rock but all I could see was sand. The road looking back meant travelling on a path that was built by man. The fear overwhelmed me, I turned and fell to my knees. But I wiped away the tears and looked ahead. My rock was waiting there for me. A voice called, "Don't look back", just look ahead. "Let my love replace your pain. I've shed my blood, forgiven all your sin's. Now let it cleanse you like the rain" Then I saw waiting for me at the edge of the solid path. His Holy Word. My Bible. Love's only perfect map. God's love wrapped around me and I was safe within his hands. No gaps for me to fall through, no longer walking on the sand All along the map was there but I chose to look away. But on the road ahead, I live again, reborn this very day. A voice called, "Don't look back", just look ahead. "Let my love replace your pain. I've shed my blood, forgiven all your sin's. Let it cleanse you like the rain" Then I saw waiting for me at the edge of the solid path. His Holy Word. My Bible. Love's only perfect map.
