Beyond Our Control

We think we’re in control of our life;
in all things, we say and do;
negotiating the flood waters of strife;
all that matters, is our view.

Though few, believe in a destiny;
a purpose for every soul;
God has chosen, what we’re to be;
far beyond our control.

Most live their lives; day to day;
just trying to get ahead;
expecting good, to come their way;
meeting resistance, instead.

Often when life seems out of control;
we pray for guidance from above;
knowing; we’re just a part of the whole;
we look to God for love.

We are the prodigals of perfection;
turning our faces from God;
we’re the images of insurrection;
most churches, now a facade.

Now, we’re a godless generation;
no longer looking above;
faith is the answer to salvation;
we were created as love.

Everyone of us is a part of God’s plan;
perfection choreographed our role;
our purpose was set; before we began;
all of it; beyond our control.
