My Obscured Vision

For a second I saw clearly

The things I need to do,

I thought I truly understood

What I’m to do for you.

And then it all became obscured,

I couldn’t see my way;

I thought that I was doing right

But things went all astray.

The picture I had seen so clear

Was lost beneath a haze

And I was back, confused and lost,

In my usual daze.

I thought I understood the plan,

And then the whole plan changed.

I had my steps laid out just so

And now they’re rearranged.

I like the little glimpses that

You show me when you can

And someday maybe I will see

The whole entire plan.

But until that day happens, Lord,

I’ll work with what I know

And recognize that you have plans

That time alone will show.
