Hope you like it!
Has someone seen the life I planned? It seems it's been
misplaced
misplaced
I've looked in every corner. It's lost without a trace.
I've found one I don't recognize. Things missing that were dear
Promises I'd hoped to keep and dreams I'd dreamed aren't here.
Faces I had planned to see. Hands I planned to hold
Now absent in the pictures. Not the way I told.
Has someone seen the life I planned? Did it get thrown away?
God took my hand from searching. Then I heard him say,
"Child, your eyes have never seen
Eternal plans I have for you
Are more than you could dream."
"You long to walk by sight
But I'm teaching eyes to see.
I know what I am doing
'Till then, you must believe."
He's done so much, I felt ashamed. To know He heard my moans
To think I'd trade in all He's done. For plans made on my own.
I wept wept over His faithfulness and now He'd proved Himself
He'd gone beyond my dreams and said to Him myself,
"No , my ears have never heard, my eyes have never seen
Eternal plans you have for me are more than I could dream
"Yes, I long to walk by sight but You are teaching eyes to see
You know what You are doing 'till then I must believe."
I felt His great compassion, mercy unrestrained
He let me mourn my losses and showed me my gains.
I offered Him my my future and released to Him my past.
I traded in my dreams for a plan He said would last.
I get no glimpse ahead, no certainties at all.
Except the presence of the One who will not let me fall.
Are you also searching for a life you planned yourself?
Have you looked in every corner? Have you checked every shelf?
Child your ears have never heard, your eyes have never seen.
Eternal plans He has for you are more than you could dream.
Perhaps you long to walk by faith but He's teaching eyes to see.
He knows what He is doing child, step out and believe.
"No Eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what
God has prepared for those who love Him." 1 Corinthians 2:9
