Our Father Is In Control
by Barbara Philbrook

Our Father is in control of every aspect of our life.
He will use for good even our troubles and strife.

He will cause even the bad to turn out good,
as long as we surrender to Him as we should.

God knows the end from the beginning you see,
and is constantly intervening for you and me.

We are the adopted children God loves with all of His heart,
and this was known before creation's start.

We are being allowed to take part in the great salvation plan.
We are being shaped in the palm of His hand.

We're being formed to eventually be of help to others.
We will pour forth the word to enlighten our brothers.

We will draw men in by reflecting God's light,
establishing an army of magnificent might.

Our Father is in control and knows what to do.
All He requires is total surrender, it's true.

Surrender today, becoming one of God's tools.
Don't be left behind as one of Satan's fools.
