God Still Has Control
Each morning as I'm waking I find God is still in charge
Of each and every moment with each challenge small or large
And find that as I trust Him He will do what's needed most
Through loving intercession by His precious Holy Ghost
But sometimes I'm too anxious for the outcome that I seek
And push for my agenda though in truth I'm far too weak
To move the mighty mountain from its base into the sea
The way that God has promised if I trust He'll do for me
And headlong like a race horse I'll pursue the path I think
Is what my God's intended to provide my food and drink
Not realizing how my wants and deep anxiety
Remove those precious lessons grace through faith still holds for me
Those lessons about patience born of trust in love with Him
Who holds the pen as Author Who's responsible for them
In timing and performance when and where they're needed most
Provided in His wisdom through His mighty Holy Ghost
Who knows me even better than I think I know myself
And wants me even more so to be like His perfect Self
To be a light to others of the trust I put in Him
Who wants to be the Saviour also for the souls of them
Who wander in the darkness of this world for want of love
That only can be found of Him Who watches from above
And sends His holy angels to abide each step we take
To help us as we trust Him not to make that big mistake
Exchanging for presumption precious faith that will not fail
When strengthened every morning as the head and not the tail
Of what our God would have us know He's planned for us each day
When we take time to let Him lead us in the narrow Way
That winds us through the valleys of decisions we must make
That have eternal purpose when we choose for Jesus' sake
To lay all worldly thinking with its passions to the side
And let God's Holy Spirit through our patience be our Guide
Who brings us out in glory when at last we see His face
Who walked us through His-story by His pure unending grace
We found each waking moment when we placed our trust in Him
Who holds the past and future and controls the whole of them
Matthew 21:21-22; Mark 11:22-26; Philippians 4:19
