Disappointment - His appointment,
|
Change one letter, then I see
|
That the thwarting of my purpose
|
Is God's better choice for me.
|
|
His appointment must be blessing
|
Though it may come in disguise
|
For the end from the beginning,
|
Open to His wisdom lies.
|
|
Disappointment - His appointment
|
Whose? The Lord's who loves best.
|
Understands and knows me fully,
|
Who my faith and love would test.
|
|
For like loving, earthy parent
|
He rejoices when He knows
|
That His child accepts unquestioned
|
All that from His wisdom flows.
|
|
Disappointment - His appointment
|
No good thing will he withhold
|
From denials oft we gather
|
Treasures from His love untold.
|
|
Well, He knows each broken purpose
|
Leads to fuller deeper trust
|
And the end of all His dealings
|
Proves our God is wise and just.
|
|
Disappointment - His appointment
|
Lord I take it then as such,
|
Like the clay in hands of potter
|
Yielding wholly to Thy touch
|
|
All my life's plan is Thy molding
|
Not one single choice be mine
|
Let me answer unrepining,
|
Father not my will but Thine.
|
