A plan, for our teaching, for our instruction
for the learning of the law, of the history, the place we play
the part each is given, in God’s time
to join the patriarchs, the saints, our savior, our God
A plan for our salvation, our redeeming
our reconciliation to the father,
the blood of the son, our brother
shed for us, for our saving
a gift beyond measure, of love
a servant king, sacrificed on the altar of wood
A plan for our toil, for our joining the work
the labor of the carpenter, the fishermen
spreading the story, the message
to the ends of the earth, the end of the age
A plan for a future, beside our brother
before the altar, the throne of our father
a place prepared for us, in that new city
light shimmering, light revealed
all in God’s time, a part of His plan
