Poem
A GOD IN CONTROL What if God looked down from heaven With His great, omniscient eyes, Saw some things that just had happened That took Him by great surprise? What if God saw all the evil Present in man’s inner soul And would think with great frustration How it was beyond control? What if some late-breaking story From the news wires broadcast loud Said that something had just happened That God hadn’t then allowed? We may not have all the answers And think it is so unfair; We may say, “That wouldn’t happen If God really had been there!” Yes, it seems so inconsistent To think God, so wise, so great Would allow what seems against Him-- Evil, trials, violence, hate. But we should stop to consider What if God just did not know? What if He was now bewildered By all the ways these things do go? How could man have any comfort, Any hope for life today If God did not have the answer, If He did not know the way? Who else, then, could be so trusted? Who else living in this world Could we turn to in life’s troubles When its darts at us are hurled? No, we must believe God’s power, Though we may not understand, That no matter what may happen, Somehow it fits in His plan. So, though I may face some trials, Some experience I may dread, Lord, help me Your will to trust in, And consider my will dead. That’s not easy, Lord, I know it, Yet from deep now in my soul, I want to accept Your planning Since You’re the God who’s in control.
