God's Precious Perfect Plan

Before my soul was granted here Within my Mother's womb, Until my birth when she was near In my delivery room, God held my soul within His hand, Then bid me live my way, Until the time I'd understand, As I began to pray... From that day forth, my fate was sealed, Both good and bad to know, Sometimes the road ahead concealed, Then blindly I would go... Amid the fog and snow and storm, Amid the darkest night, To question if God's love was warm When there was no insight... But dark days strengthen hearts of gold, Though painful they may be And yet what lessons we behold From Christ and Calvary... My youth was but a blur in time, A streaming streak, no more, But then I met the Lord sublime And felt His love outpour... This dream I dreamt changed everything, I stood there on a hill And in the distance, Christ the King, Was on His Cross, not still, For He was writhing there in pain, A twisting silhouette, To die for me, to clear sin's stain, To pay off every debt... Then suddenly, a beam of light From Heaven shone straight down Upon Christ's Cross with all God's might And on Christ's briar crown... Then light reflecting came my way, Engulfing me with heat, A golden glow as if to say, Today in love we meet... God's precious perfect plan was known, Through Christ and Calvary... God's love for me was clearly shown For all eternity... No more could I regard my dreams As mine when Christ had died, To concentrate upon my schemes, Once He was crucified... Though billions go to sleep each night, Will they dream dreams like mine, To stand within God's golden light And shine and shine and shine? Or will the darkness from closed eyes, From closed thoughts and closed minds, Cause them to never realise God's prophecies and signs? So I'm praying every hour That mortal life extends, For the Lord's love and His power, On which each friend depends... What is His plan? What must I do? How best to save the lost? Now saved, I must save others, too, And not just count the cost... Denis Martindale, copyright, March 2012.
