Our life is an eternal book
God has written for the age.
Each day is a chapter
That unfolds with every page.

The author knows the ending
Before the title or the plot
He has fashioned every detail
And written down each thought.

To me it's been a mystery
Just a story to be told
Of a life that seemed so pointless
Being born and growing old.

In between He had a purpose
There's a reason why I live
But I must read each chapter,
In the order that He gives.

Every day a blank page
A chapter to begin
Where my life becomes a story
Hidden in the Master's pen.

Some chapters filled with sorrow
And some chapters filled with pain
But some are filled with victory
As I learn to love again.

I'd like to learn the outcome
But it's not for me to know
It's a secret that is hidden
By the One who loves me so.

Now every day I ask Him
How this chapter will surprise,
But in my heart I really know
The Hero gets the prize!
