Joe drove a tractor round and round,
his circling bound him to the ground.
Hours long the tractor turned,
a groove beneath his wheels was churned.
Morning turned to 4 o'clock;
how time had dragged, like a stalled clock!
Round and round, as round could get,
this spin cycle for dry or wet!
John Deere was his employer,
the one that paid him for this tour.
Chasing tail like a dog--
the wear and tear filled up a log.
Each day his track was just the same,
like someone who had lost all aim.
Are you, dear friend, in a blind spot,
Why circle in a hopeless rut?
Why excuse with a "Yes, but..."?
Christ Jesus set Joe Rangen free,
and He can do the same for thee!*
Jesus gave him Destiny:
a higher goal there could not be
than love and serve Him all his days.
Why wander in a weary maze?
Only Christ can make life straight,
a road that won't miss Heaven's gate.
*Young Joseph Rangen, in his twenties, while testing John Deere tractors thought there must be more to life than that. There was! The Lord led him on to seminary and a lifetime of service to God and man in planting churches, and serving as pastor with his wife.--Editors
