When the door closes on a dream Plans fail and proposals are catastrophes He reminds me that He is light, He is love And He surrounds me with hope from above When the time runs out on my ideas Strategies and schemes crash to the ground He tells me that I am His child and He is the life That assures me, even in doubt, there is Him The One who makes a way through the fire That burns away my confidence, my desires When I can’t find a way to believe or achieve Everywhere I turn there is disappointment Breaking down all my expectations, leaving me With worries and frustrations, uncertainties Reminders that, despite my faith, there are still Days when I can’t see the way – unless I turn To Him and say, “Lead me on, precious Savior” When the door closes on my heart Wishes so warm fade from my thoughts There is One who makes a way through the pain He helps me to understand that my plans Are not the only way – If I let Him have His say He will give me grace to believe in His plans To lay down my load and take up my cross Follow Him to the promised land, where I can Finally know what it is to be completely satisfied By the joy and love that surround me! His way – is always much better than anything I might dream or believe or achieve – His way Is the way of mercy and hope, peace and light Love that is eternal – the way to God and endless praise For the One who brings me through the storms Into the light where I can see that His love Is the only way to know what it means to feel The wonder of One who made my soul live!
