God Took Over the Reigns

Alan Thompson 1981 (Decatur,Alabama)



When it comes to my life,
Nothing is ever for certain,
Because what I was expecting,
All changed when they opened the curtain,

I thought my life was planned out,
But God had other things in mind,
And the once perfect plans I had,
Suddenly changed on a dime,

I am farthest thing from perfect,
I fall short of Glory every day,
But I am forgiven from my sin,
Because I accepted Jesus one day,

From the inside to the outside,
I want to walk a straight line,
I don't want people to see me personally
But rather how God's light started to shine,

All that has happened in my life,
The joy's and even all of the pains,
Ended up better than I could have imagined,
Because God took over the reigns
