The Tapestry of Life

Life’s tapestry cloth is all laid out And set for us to sew It’s designed for us very carefully By the one above who knows The colors and patterns are all drawn out With instructions for each step Each stitch we add if we follow the guide Will reveal the promises kept For in this Life we have our God Who drew out this beautiful plan He knows the colors and patterns needed Each stitch in the hour glass of sand This tapestry will take a life time One so detailed and so true Each day He adds more color So our picture won’t be blue The rainbows of life and season Are filled with many strings The ones we love make up those strings Choose wisely to who we cling For soon Life’s tapestry will be complete No more time to add any more What will we have to show our Lord? Unfinished work, behind life’s door? We must make each day a piece of art As God planned for us to do Life’s beautiful tapestry, a picture of God Will be left from me and you. So take a look at the life you live as your tapestry is displayed Do you have each stitch in order Or are there knots along the way? Every life has some broken strings And tangles we must face Its easy to get back on the pattern If Gods plan each stitch we trace.
