The Master’s Plan
You took me to the bottom
quite near the pit of Hell
the closest I’d ever come to it,
but never would I dwell
They watched me from a distance
afraid to get too close
they thought I’d gone astray
the ones I trusted most
The days of darkness lingered
for what seem an eternity
I cried to you and pleaded
Oh Lord, just set me free
I didn’t understand
why it took so long
if you really loved me,
this suffering seemed wrong
but now I see the Master’s plan
was working all along
You were right there with me,
guiding ever step
my tears collected in a jar
the most I’ve ever wept
I began to see the light
the richness and the peace
by fighting the fight
as a Child of God
the bondage now released
I’m ready now to lay aside
my ideas and my ways
I know your plan for me is good
an abundant life
with praise
I am thankful Lord
for the wilderness
for you have taught me this
your true love, when I trust in you
is the most precious gift.
