My Destiny

Bro. Cary Schmidt, youth pastor of Lancaster Baptist Church, wrote these words. This song, "My Destiny", has been a great encouragement to me lately, and I wanted to share it with anyone who reads this blog. Please pray for Bro. Schmidt and his family as he is undergoing chemo therapy treatments for Hodgkins cancer.

Deep in the mystery of eternity past

God planned out my life's design

A journey of hope, a lifetime of faith

To be lived in the boundary of time.

He knew my name, He knew my heart

He even knew my sin,

And gave me a will to choose,

And desired that I'd choose Him.

(Chorus)

I choose His will, it is my destiny

God's perfect plan, He knows what's best for me

And when my life is over, I look over my shoulder

The only thing I want to see

Is that I lived out my destiny

Life-changing choices are a part of the journey

God created me to take

So many paths, yet still I know

There is only one right choice to make

To live in the center of God's will

And surrender my own plans

Seeing His purpose fulfilled

As I trust His guiding hand.
