THE PLAN

We try to look ahead
As we carefully prepare.
We search for all the answers,
And seek counsel everywhere.

We map out all our steps,
Down to the last detail.
With all this preparation,
We surely will not fail!

Why, then, is there such turmoil?
Why can't we find our way?
We use all our resources,
Yet, frustration builds each day.

The strategies that we propose
Will not alone succeed.
For there is one great Master Plan
That each of us will need.

God's plan is the only one
That we should seek to follow.
All other plans will break apart,
And leave us feeling hollow.

We may not always understand
The plan He has designed.
But if we follow Him with faith,
We'll find true peace of mind.
