Consider it joy, pure joy when suffering comes your way

For trials and tests that come from God produce power to stay

And perseverence yields character- and gives us the power to cope

Remember, God has plans prepared for you- a future and a hope!

 

For Jesus is the answer in the darkness at the end of your rope

For He has plans prepared for you- a future and a hope!

And He shows us clearly- for His will we won't have to grope

For He has plans prepared for you- a future and a hope!

Yes He has plans prepared for you- a future and a hope!

 

A double minded man is unstable in all things

So now you must focus on the facts- that's how to crown Him King

The work that He began in you Is His work and His will shall be done

And by working out our faith in Him that day will surely come!

 

For Jesus is the answer in the darkness at the end of your rope

For He has plans prepared for you- a future and a hope!

And He shows us clearly- for His will we won't have to grope

For He has plans prepared for you- a future and a hope!

Yes He has plans prepared for you- a future and a hope!
