Plans Only You See

 

The plans You made before You spoke,
Calling light on the world,
Have been unfolding for eons,
With some still not unfurled.
 
So, why do I stand here in awe
At how my life works out,
When I know that Your plan’s in place.
Of that, there is no doubt.
 
Each step I take along the way,
Turns my eyes back to You
As I face each new twist along
The path You’ve seen me through.
 
It’s like the blossom on the vine,
The fern still curled in sleep.
You’ve set in place each step within
The pattern they will keep.
 
Though I step out not knowing why
Or what I will walk through,
You’ve already marked every step
And they’ll lead me to You.
 
While I can see the fern’s life plan,
Mine own’s harder to see,
But, like that fern, I need to trust
The plans You’ve made for me.
 
Lord, while I may still be surprised
At what You’ve set in place,
Please know that I'll rejoice each time
Your plans show up as grace!  
 
Ephesians 2:10
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
 
Psalm 139:16 
Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them,
the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.
