A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps. – Proverbs 16:9

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5-6

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. – Romans 8:28

(Verse 1)
When I view the tangled span
Of the world at your command,
My human eyes can not discern a single weighty turn.
Nor can I guess the faithfulness
With which you give your Word success;
Your kingdom will be gloried by-and-by!

(Chorus)
The plants and creatures heed your call;
The weather also, rain and all.
Easily you sway the selfish, hardened hearts of men.
Boundless knowledge you possess,
And even in our worst distress,
You direct our faithful steps along the narrow way.

(Verse 2)
Lord, our self-important plans,
Rest within your stronger hands;
With grace you mold and shape them all for your much greater will.
We trust your goodness faithfully,
And give ourselves up gratefully,
For blessings that we cannot comprehend!

(Chorus)

(Verse 3)
When we feel the weight of strife,
Pressing down upon our life,
It’s then we know your sovereignty will shortly be displayed!
Draw near and be our one defense,
And hearten us through our laments;
Reveal to us your real and perfect plan.

(Chorus)

(Verse 4)
When, at last, you reappear,
Calling us away from here,
And welcome us to heaven with a passionate embrace;
Regale us with the age old tale
Of how you brought us out of Hell
And how you walked beside us all the way.

(Chorus)
