For This Reason: Embracing the King’s Plan

Published on Aug 11, 2023

Jeremiah 29:11 – For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

For this reason today I am excited
For this reason today I am thrilled to bits
That the King of all the universe
Has chosen to make this mere human
In His perfect image, yes that’s His plan

For this reason today I am excited
For this reason today I am thrilled to bits
That the King of all the universe
Provides for my every need
In His perfect time, yes that’s His plan

For this reason today I am excited
For this reason today I am thrilled to bits
That the King of all the universe
Chose to die that cruel death for me
That I may live eternally, yes that’s His plan

For this reason today I am excited
For this reason today I am thrilled to bits
That I, for the King of all the universe
Am His chosen vessel, His love to share
In my little corner, yes that’s His plan

For this reason today I am excited
For this reason today I am thrilled to bits
That you can make this King of all the universe
As your own Friend and Savior, too,
If only you would so choose, yes that’s His plan
