Thanks for words that are true!
I know them to be true, God is faithful, past experience tells me that,
I guess that's why I sent that message...
wanted someone to say what I know to be true,  tell me once more,
That God has a plan,
That I just have to trust Him,And not understand,
I have a future,

And when,
The What Ifs come knocking on my door,
I have an answer,
That I didn't have before,

God has a purpose,
There is a plan,
And when it's darkest at midnight,
And I feel all alone,
I need only remember, I'm not on my own,
I have a promise,
I can hold on to,
God can make a way,
When I can't find a way through,

There is a purpose,
And there is a plan,
I just have to trust,
especially when I don't understand.



RhondaIt's all in His hand,
