-a Future Awaits-

Do you know where you are going ?
Do you know the path you're on ?
There is for you a way of knowing
that your hopes and dreams aren't gone.

Have you felt dismayed and forsaken ?
Are your goals now beyond your sight ?
God can restore all that's been taken,
bringing your desires again to light.

Can you see yourself victorious;
what you aspire to be, now complete ?
A future awaits you that is glorious
because in Him there is no defeat.

Let no one ever turn you aside
from the things you were destined to do.
Your future is sealed in Him who died
and Who rose to liberate you.

Tragedy to triumph and scars to stars,
this, the life destined for you.
He came to destroy your prison bars
and He is faithful to see you through.
