God's Plan
A premature decision in a path that you pursue
May alter your perception of what God would have you do
And may include some damage of the work that He'd have done
If not at the direction of the Father Ghost and Son
But many are too hurried in the path of life they choose
Too hurried by the worry there's some great thing they might lose
A title or experience they think is theirs to have
When God would have them listen and pursue another path
And in the end they suffer from decisions they have made
As well as all the others for which Jesus Christ has paid
When heaven's restoration with the earth that's been made new
Is occupied forever by the chosen and the few
Who took each day as precious from the hand of Him on high
Determined by His mighty grace that they would live and try
To stay in close communion with their Master Lord and King
Receiving His direction in the course of everything
That sought from them an action or a statement for the day
Affecting other people they might meet along the way
In how they saw the future and the plan God had for them
The future God's been planning to make them the more like Him
For God is not just waiting to decide what we should do
When faced by every circumstance each moment brings us to
His plan's been made already long before this world was made
Confirmed by His provision and the precious Price He paid
To show us through His Sacrifice how deep His love is here
For all to whom He daily wants to make His purpose clear
If only we would seek Him early when we rise each day
And listen for His precious voice while reading as we pray
That He will show us clearly how to touch the ones we meet
In ways that will effect their lives to bring them to the feet
Of Him Who is our Saviour Mighty God and precious Friend
Who wants so much to hold us in that life that has no end
So friend be wise and careful in the path you choose today
Don't let those special moments with your Maker pass away
Until you've sought His guidance in what He would have you do
Affirming His direction and His plan He has for you
Psalm 32:2-11; Isaiah 58:6-12
