Bigger Than Circumstance

God’s plan is not a game of chance

Nor thwarted by mere circumstance

The dreamer cannot dream away

What God hath said of judgement day

Nor can the schemer with flawed scheme

Usurp I AM, nor we esteem

Our understanding better than

God’s wise and providential plan

God’s plan unfolds in spite of us

There is no flippant ‘just because’

Where Love and mercy, hope and grace

Supersedes evil’s dying place

And Faith is our sole defense

No one exceeds Omnipotence

His changeless Charter bigger than

The bravest brainchild of a man

God’s plan is oft misunderstood

We cannot always see the good

As we the face-value assay

Of circumstance; of gold and gray

But God, before the days of man

Knew every tittle of His plan

We who are wise should place our trust

In He who holds our frames of dust

 Many, LORD my God, are the wonders you have done, the things you planned for us. None can compare with you; were I to speak and tell of your deeds, they would be too many to declare. Ps. 40:5

But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations. Ps. 33:11

LORD, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name, for in perfect faithfulness you have done wonderful things, things planned long ago. Isa. 25:1
