Let God Write the Story

So often as we walk through life
We want to know the ending;
We want to see it all work out
When things are just beginning.

But God most often doesn’t show
The map of where He’ll lead us;
He simply shows us day by day
The way to live for Jesus.

He knows the end, and that’s enough –
By faith we must believe it;
He’ll give us grace to get us through
If only we’ll receive it.

Like Joseph in the prison cell,
Like Esther – crowned but grieving,
Like John on Patmos, we can’t see
The wonders God is weaving.

So step by step we do God’s will
And let Him write the story,
Till someday, looking back, we see
His wisdom, love, and glory.
