Designed
The thoughts of God designed you
Well placed in love and trust
He knew you before you came to be
When bringing you to us
He knitted you in heaven
Then placed you here on earth
So beautiful and perfect
When you were given birth
Each part of you is special
Each part a special gift
For you will teach us how to smile
To encourage and uplift
Your eyes will see a new world
You’ll bring change in your youth
You’ll see through lies we live each day
You’ll help us see the truth
Your hands will hold new meanings
Your feet create new roads
Your mouth will speak in honesty
Your back-carry new loads
Your dreams will lighten darkness
You’ll change the old to new
Your heart will share the love of God
With all of this in you
Your purpose is unseen for now
But know it has been timed
Though you were given human form
By God you were designed
