His Time

by David Valentine

As the breeze churns the ocean waves,

So the winds move the desert sands,

God directs our lives at will,

To fulfill his master plan.

Now the potter forms the moistened clay,

And the silver is refined by fire,

Who are we to say what is best,

Or announce our own desire.

We trusted God from the beginning,

Now, let us trust him for today.

His ways are better than ours,

We see it from day to day.

So now you know that you are loved,

Let also your love be known.

For it is only through our Father,

That the greatest love was shown.
