For You...

You come to me with news
afraid to disappoint
I wrap you in my arms
and assure you, it will be alright
God has a perfect plan
because ours is not

We have to release control
and trust His perfect time
He works good for those who love Him
if we put our faith in His good will
For we have seen His hand
in things we've been through
we will choose to rejoice
because His mercy makes us new

the road looks long and winding
satan tries to gain a hold
but the battle is not his
for God has already won
He holds us in His arms
and assures things will be okay
patience will pay off
when it comes to that special day

i am so proud
of the wisdom you possess
you will be amazing
i have seen it in your steps
You follow the One who made you
and go to Him with your mistakes
for we have all sinned
and seek for His forgiveness

i can't wait to see this all unfold
you have a story
and when it is told
your mistakes will help many
those young and those old

you are so special
in every single way
i see your growth
into a strong man every day
your love for those around you
does not even compare
to the things God gives you
His tender love and care
