The Wordsmith


What is written in the volume of your lifestory?
Are the lines crooked and the letters blurred?
Do the lines leap off the pages
Or are they so crooked that you cant read a word?

Let God erase the lines that you've bungled
Rewrite the chapters that were a waste
With a new storyline altogether
All those lines of enmity He will erase

Is your name written in the book of the Lamb?
Or are you writing verses To suit your desires?
Is your story being told by the great I Am?
Gods will is not a secret, He declares what He requires

Our God is a wordsmith but he will not write
A single word until you come to the light.
Then He'll inscribe you upon the palm of His hand 
And no one will ever erase you from His plan.

He will write His words on your heart`s tablet
And He'll write for you a special new name
Let your life now be written by the finger of God
With His stories all the endings are the same

So will your story end in God's presence
Or in darkness and torment and strife?
For nothing impure enters His heaven
Only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life!

But God will write righteousness on your heart
It comes through faith to all who believe
Won' t you give him the pen of your life
And in exchange this gift now receive?

Our God is a wordsmith but he will not write
A single word until you come to the light.
Then He'll inscribe you upon the palm of His hand 
And no one will ever erase you from His plan.

Isaiah 49:16
