THE WAY GOD LEADS
by John E. DeCock
 

The way God will lead is different each time;
some roads go through sunshine and joy,
sometimes they are rugged, steep mountains to climb
sometimes we feel tossed like a toy.
Whatever it'll be,
be sure He will see,
his hand will protect and sustain.
His arm is so strong,
he'll lead us along,
his love will forever remain.

Sometimes the wild storm will be stilled at his word;
He calls with strong voice: "Peace, be still!"
The waves will be calm when his voice will be heard,
they're subject at once to his will.
But sometimes the boat
will not stay afloat;
like Paul who was shipwrecked one day.
For God had a plan
 that was different then,
He saved many people that way.

For Peter one time the doors of the jail
were opened as an answer to prayer.
The chains were all broken at believers prevail
and soon in their midst they stood there.
But not every jail
let go without bail,
for John behind bars did remain.
But there God revealed
his plan that was sealed
and the message was never the same.

God's people once slaves, later traveled around
and after they lived in the land
their rulers were Judges, then a kingdom was found
until far away they were sent.
After Babylon you see
they never were free
even though they returned to their land.
For from that same hour
under foreign power
with oppression they had to contend.

But through all affliction, in fullness of time
God sent His own Son among men,
to pay for the sins of yours and of mine,
it all happened according to plan.
So do understand
in things God has planned
all circumstances do have their place.
He still has control
fulfilling his goal,
the victory is God's in the end.

Remember my friend, just trust in God's word,
there's no pain or no suffering in vain.
Hold on to God's hand, the promise you've heard,
for his promise is: "He will sustain".
Now stop to compare
with others out there,
your life and your way are unique.
But rest in God's grace
and walk just by faith,
be sensitive when God will speak.
