If I can think of lawns so richly green
And fog that quickly parts so I can see,
If I can see Him there with arms outstretched,
What can God plan for me?
If I can see a room where all are nice,
As welcomes come from every side,
Refreshments too, to bring us all some joy,
What can God plan for me?
If I now see a prophet old appear
And share so many things we need to know
About a Heaven which we have never seen,
What can God plan for me?
If I can rest in my own room at eve
And feel at home in this, a strange new land
And dine with thousands, all as new as I,
What can God plan for me?
If I can know landscapes in bright array
See houses made from dreams akin to mine,
And hear a concert of the hymns I love,
What can God plan for me?
When I am led to see the Saviour near,
To stand in reverence and to hear God speak,
As in His presence thousands wait in awe,
What can God plan for me?
If God can keep my spirit all alive,
My body lying deep within the grave,
As I anticipate the joys of heaven,
What can God plan for me?
I rest my case, I trust my loving God,
All knowing, caring, when my time arrives,
He takes me to a place I’ll love.
That God has planned for me.
