June.26.02: Lftd - " If You Should Roll Out The Future"

-- Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD,
"plans to prosper you and not to harm you,
plans to give you hope and a future.
12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me,
and I will listen to you.
13 You will seek me and find me
when you seek me with all your heart.

"If You Should Roll Out The Future"

If you should roll out the future
Like a scroll across the sky,
You'd show me stories from days of old,
Give guidance none could deny.

If You should reach down Your fingertip,
And write on parchment for me
Answers to questions that tear at my heart,
And solve all life's mysteries;

Could I fathom the hidden secrets?
Would it set my heart at ease?
Or give me burdens far greater,
And increase my earnest pleas?

You show me in the Bible,
that, although I cannot see,
I have Your presence with me,
Now through eternity.

I read the answers You've given,
Your promises great and true;
Your fingertip etches deep in my heart;
" I'll truly take care of you."

-- Romans 8:38, 39 (NIV)
"38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life,
neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future,
nor any powers,
39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation,
will be able to separate us from the love of God that is
in Christ Jesus our Lord."
