Shifting Sand

 

I’m not sure what to say tonight,
The world seems shifting sand,
Yet everything that startles me
Is just what You had planned.
 
I’ve seen You raise the sun each day,
And felt You shake this world.
I’ve seen comets shoot through the sky,
Their ion trails unfurled.
 
You know the name of every star,
The oceans heed Your call.
You see even the smallest birds,
And know if one should fall.
 
There is no plan laid out by man
Of which You’re not aware,
And nothing we might try to do
Happens outside Your care.
 
Though it seems my assumptions were
Built upon shifting sand,
Your plans are rock solid and I
Will hold tight to Your hand.
 
Proverbs 16:9
The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.
