Future
The end from the beginning is something we cannot see
And what will come tomorrow without us will surely be
What God knows through His knowledge that we cannot understand
As only God can see tomorrow and what He has planned
But sometimes in our anxiousness to have things go our way
We waste the joy that we might have that's here for us today
By selfish words and actions as if we can truly be
The ones who hold the future that will be our history
When God has surely told us in the tenet of His Word
No matter what from others in presumption may be heard
The promise of tomorrow is not ours to have today
Until Christ comes in glory and all sin is wiped away
But this much He has told us of the future to be sure
If we are true and faithful with a heart that's clean and pure
No matter what today may bring eternity will be
The future God has guaranteed that we will surely see
And as we read His Bible trusting purely in His Word
Not trusting in some other for the things that they have heard
But trusting every moment as His Spirit helps us see
Then we will be most happy with His plans for you and me
For in God's perfect vision of the future and today
He knows what He has chosen for the people of the Way
And knows what will tomorrow be the thing we call the past
And what will at His bidding be those things that surely last
As only things that matter for all of eternity
Are those things He is planning for the future that will be
The blessings for the chosen who left everything to Him
Who back in the beginning placed His perfect life in them
And though disgraced and fallen from what He had planned before
Though narrowed in our vision as we seek the future's door
We can know without doubting everything today we see
If trusted to His providence will be what it should be
To give us His security that everything that's good
Will work out for the future just the way He planned it should
Where joy that's never ending will be all the saints will know
Because they trusted and obeyed where God told them to go
Genesis 1:26-31; 2:7; James 4:13-17; Romans 8:24-29
