When God Leads

God shakes the nest

When He would have His eagles fly;

He knows what’s best,

He does not need to tell us why.

But trust we must

If we would know His peace divine,

And only say,

“Dear Lord, Thy will be mine.”

Secure and warm

And safe within our hallowed place,

We would not choose

To venture into unknown space;

But stepping forth

We know He’ll lead where we belong

And soon we’ll sing the victor’s glorious song.

Then trust His love,

Although the way ahead be dim,

He has a work

That only you can do for Him.

So keep your eyes

On Jesus, Listen for His voice,

And looking back

You’ll see how wise His choice.
