God’s Plan for Your Joy


When God created you He planned a path of joy all measured out-

A dream for you He dreamed up long ago (Ephesians 1:4)

God planned each detail of your road to lead you to His Treasure! Doubt?-

Then ask Him, “What’s my path, I long to know!” (Hebrews 11)

God foreordained good works for you to do for sundry suff’ring souls- 

Love’s deeds that wait for you and you alone (Ephesians 2:10)

The path the Shepherd leads you on is not without rough rocks and holes-

Beneath His Wings, protection is well known (Matthew 23:37; Psalm 91)

God’s plan for you is full – chock full! – of hope and “welfare, not of woe”-

He’ll show you step by step the path to tread (Jeremiah 29:11; Psalm 23)

He’ll arm you with the Spirit’s Sword to strike down lies from mankind’s Foe-

Faith’s Shield repels his firey darts of dread (Ephesians 6:17; 1 Peter 5:8)

The “road is wide” that leads unprayerful souls to hopeless, endless woe

For you, the “narrow road” God prearranged (Matthew 7)

Although this road will lose you friends, with Christ you’ll ne’er be friendless, no!

Cling close by prayer and you’ll not be estranged
