Disappointment

[whatseekye]

I heard a very good old Christian song on internet radio today. It was called "Disappointment" by Phil Keaggy. Thought you might find the lyrics to be interesting too.

Disappointment​

by Phil Keaggy​

​

Disappointment - His appointment,​

Change one letter, then I see​

That the thwarting of my purpose​

Is God's better choice for me.​

​

His appointment must be blessing​

Though it may come in disguise​

For the end from the beginning,​

Open to His wisdom lies.​

​

Disappointment - His appointment​

Whose? The Lord's who loves best.​

Understands and knows me fully,​

Who my faith and love would test.​

​

For like loving, earthy parent​

He rejoices when He knows​

That His child accepts unquestioned​

All that from His wisdom flows.​

​

Disappointment - His appointment​

No good thing will he withhold​

From denials oft we gather​

Treasures from His love untold.​

​

Well, He knows each broken purpose​

Leads to fuller deeper trust​

And the end of all His dealings​

Proves our God is wise and just.​

​

Disappointment - His appointment​

Lord I take it then as such,​

Like the clay in hands of potter​

Yielding wholly to Thy touch​

​

All my life's plan is Thy molding​

Not one single choice be mine​

Let me answer unrepining,​

Father not my will but Thine.​

p.s. I heard this on a live365 station called "Jesus Music Oldies", fyi. If you know any other good internet radio stations that play Classic CCM, please let me know.
