Smalltown Poets have a great new song out, “The Truth is Out,” from their latest album, It’s Later Than It’s Ever Been. Read and reflect on these lyrics.

I have a plan for you
It will only take a lifetime to see through
I’ll show you where to start
And the most that it can cost will be your heart
Give me your heart
Forever starting now

The truth is out
And living in you now
You’ll find out
You’re safe now the truth is out

I have a life for you
And I know you think you’ve missed your chances to
Find a happy end
And it’s feeling later then it’s ever been
All that you need is heaven sent

The truth is out
And living in you now
You’ll find out
Now the truth is out, it’s all about
Forever starting now
You’ll find out
You’re safe now the truth is out

All the best for you and i’m
Here to help you with the balance
Of the low and high
Your restless heart kept still
On the center of my perfect will
The call that you hear
You’re free to fill
A life full of
Faith hope and love

The truth is out
And living in you now
You’ll find out
Now the truth is out, it’s all about
Forever starting now
You’ll find out
You’re safe now the truth is out

It’s comforting to read that first line: “I have a plan for you, it will only take a lifetime to see through.” God has a plan for us, and many times in our lives, we may feel lost, like we don’t have a place or meaning in this life. Rest assured that God knows what He’s doing, and while we may not think we’re getting instructions or a direction from Him at this point in time, we are in fact being shaped and molded by Him daily. If you “think you’ve missed your chances to find a happy end,” hang in there - God’s got so much more in store for you and He’s not done working in your life yet. Talk to Him daily, stay in His will and have faith that He’s got a wonderful plan for you.
