I know the plans I have for you,
I know the things in store;
Remember that I love you,
My child whom I adore.

You need not ever worry,
You need not ever fear;
Remember I am with You,
Lo, I am always near.

Look onto the horizon,
See the sun shining bright?
Child, I walk with you,
I beautify all in My Light.

Take My hand, My daughter,
In faith walk close to Me;
You shall see the good I plan
Now and for all eternity.

In saying these words,
Jesus smiles and takes my hand;
How I look forward to seeing
All my Lord has planned!

Yea, Lord, I shall follow You,
Never to fret nor fear;
What have I to worry
When You are always near?

The trees clap with joy,
The clouds parade in the sky,
The flowers dance around me,
The birds sing on high.

Surely the world around
Whispers of Your great plan;
O, the sweet things You do,
I praise You, Son of Man.

Lead me where You wish,
I follow You wherever You go;
Joy is being in Your presence,
Only love You show.

On my life horizon,
I see You, the Son, shining bright;
Jesus, I live for Your glory,
I live forever in Your Light.

Surely I need not worry,
I need not ever fear;
You, my Lord, are with me,
Yea, You are always near.

I trust the plans You have,
I yield to all You have in store;
My Lord, I give You my life,
I long only to give You more.

Purposeful Pathway

"For I know the plans I have for you,"
declares the LORD,
"plans to prosper you
and not to harm you,
plans to give you hope and a future."
Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)
