Man's Plans vs God's Plans
by Belinda van Rensburg
No matter how long we devise our plans,
Carefully reviewing each detail -
God often changes the plans made by man
As we watch in despair as they crash and derail.
Our hands in our hair we cry and bewail
The harshness of our lot and our loss;
Our anguish will not be of any avail -
We might as well stop making all the fuss!
If what we have planned is not in God's will
We need to accept all His changes;
We should never panic but stand and be still,
And wait and see what He arranges.
It is never easy to give up our schemes,
But it's worse to be out of God's will;
When He is the One in control of our dreams
Our hopes and desires will be fulfilled.
