You Are Not A Mistake
by Barbara Philbrook

You are not a mistake. God knew you before you were born,
He knew every step you'd take all long.

We are assured we were known before conception,
and the Bible is incapable of deception.

We are assured God knows every desire of our heart,
after all He is where our desires got their start.

Some claim to have found Jesus our Savior,
but actually we were beckoned by His loving behavior.

Predestination is written about in the Holy Word,
if you read about it you will know it occurred.

We are to discover the salvation plan,
and that it is offered by God's own hand.

We are to accept and receive,
oh yes, He too is the One who gives the power to believe.

Once reborn we must surrender each day.
That is how we can live our life God's way.

We are then the tools used to beckon others,
then they too will become our Christian brothers.

You are not a mistake, you are a tool in His hand,
used to fulfill the Great Master Plan.
