Getting What God Has For You

there's this great spiritual song and it makes mention
that whatever God has for you it's His divine intention

today we're in the best of times and we're also in the worst
people today no longer seem to put the desires of God first
when we crossed over the Red Sea it was to escape from our past
we crossed over from captivity and the old ways at last
and when we crossed over the Jordan River it was towards a God-given destiny
when we crossed over the Jordan River it was to claim a God-given victory

whatever God has in mind for you nothing and no one can ever stop
whatever He has in store for you nothing and no one can ever top
it is what it is no matter what man has to say
it is what it is for God will always have His way

I once drove through a hurricane and my four hour trip became twice as long
and when I finally reached my destination at the hotel something was wrong
the hotel had over-booked and my family gave me such a look
but I did not panic for I knew that God was in charge
the staff found us another room and it was twice as large
I kept my faith, I stayed the course and trusted in the Lord
and the God I serve came through for me with a suite I could never afford
they told me that I would only have to pay my reserved room's price
and then threw in a free meal and also gave us an extra night

what God has planned for you nothing in this world can ever halt
no hurricane, no over-booked hotel even when it's not your fault
obedient in your behavior by doing what God tells you to do
to be in place for the blessing that God has in store for you
even if it means to move out of your comfort zone and pack up all your possessions
in preparation for that journey that the Lord God's been stressing
so soar like an eagle always looking ahead
to leave the old behind and by the Spirit to be led
learning from the past and never forgetting the yesterdays
looking towards tomorrow but to live by the Word of God today
to getting what God has for you just listen and follow His commands
stay the course, keep the faith and place all in His hands
