HOW THEY COULD,
STRUGGLES THAT BREAK
OUR HEARTS IN TWO
SOMETIMES BLIND US TO

AND YOU JUST DON'T SEE HIM,
REMEMBER YOU'RE NEVER

MISTAKEN
GOD IS TOO GOOD TO BE
UNKIND

UNDERSTAND
WHEN DON'T SEE HIS PLAN
WHEN YOU CAN'T TRACE
HIS HAND
TRUST HIS HEART
TRUST HIS HEART
 HE SEES THE MASTER PLAN
AND HE HOLDS OUR FUTURE IN
HIS HAND,
SO DON'T LIVE AS THOSE WHO
HAVE NO HOPE,
ALL OUR HOPE IS FOUND
IN HIM
 WE SEE THE PRESENT CLEARLY
BUT HE SEES THE FIRST AND
THE LAST
AND LIKE A TAPESTRY HE'S
WEAVING YOU AND ME,
TO SOMEDAY BE JUST LIKE HIM
GOD IS TOO WISE
TO BE MISTAKEN
GOD IS…
