The Time God Chose for Me
God plugged me into history
For such a time as now –
This moment is the one He chose
To use me here somehow.
The devil wants to make a wreck
Of all the Lord had planned,
But Jesus called me out by grace
To show His mighty hand.
I must not waste this hour He gave,
This life is short, I know;
Eternal things redeem the time
With heaven’s work below.
I won’t let worry steal away
The time God gives today;
I’ll trust the Lord is in control
And boldly live and pray.
I will not wait for sunny skies –
Today is all that’s mine;
With just one life to live for God,
I’ll serve Him rain or shine.
For it’s my hour – the time God set
And chose for me to live;
Lord, help me do the work You’ve planned
With grace and strength You’ll give.
