When God Has Another Plan

Recently in my review of the National Quartet Convention, I wrote about a song the Greenes sang on their 'post-surgery debut' set. The name of it was "When God has Another Plan." I loved it the night they sang it and bawled my eyes out, but now I'm REALLY loving this song. It was on their new album that I bought and I simply can't get enough of it. It's something that I really need to hear right now, and it has a way of soothing the soul and I need to share it. It's been on my mind that I needed to post it. There is no video to help me get this song across, nor it there any download of the song that I can find to post. Therefore I can only share the words, but man they are powerful!! I'm sure if I counted the times I've listened to this song since I've left the convention, it would be somewhere around 500. I absolutely love it. I'm sure it helps that one of the most wonderful voices on the face of the earth is singing it.

It goes like this....


Forsaken by his brothers didn't fit the scene..
Being made a slave, was not what Joseph dreamed...
The coat of many colors was stained with blood and lies
But from this divine appointment, a ruler would arise

When God has another plan - walk on and just say yes
When God has another plan - be assured that He knows best
If all your dreams are shattered, rest in His sufficient grace
We don't have to understand - when God has another plan.

Alone and broken hearted, questions fill your mind
Changes can be hard, but come by God's design,
But if you could see tomorrow, with a view from Heaven's throne,
Every unexpected struggle, has led you closer home.

When God has another plan - walk on and just say yes............

If all your dreams are shattered, rest in His sufficient grace,
We don't have to understand - when God has another plan.


I just love it. Don't ask me why I'm so compelled to post it. Maybe someone just needs a little nudge to remind you that you don't always have to know the method behind the madness of the ways of the Master designer!! But never forget, there's always a purpose!! Figuring it out can be the hard part....and never knowing is even worse!! That's why they call it faith!

I know why the kind Father had you post it and I receive it today anew! His ways are perfect . . . and He's good ALL the time, even in this. I choose to trust Him all the way home.
