In that Day
When I stand at the judgment seat of Christ,
And He shows His plan for me.
The plan of my life as it might have been,
Had He had his way, and I see
How I blocked him there, and I checked him here.
And I would not yeild my will,
Will there be grief in my Savior's eyes,Grief, though he loves me still?
He would have me rich, and I stand there poor,
Stripped of all but his grace.
While memory runs like a hunted thing,
Down the path that I cannot retrace,
Then my desolate heart will near break,
With the tears I cannot shed.
I will cover my face, with my empty hands,
I will bow my uncrowned head,
O' Lord of the years that are left to me,
I give them to thy hand,
Take me and break me and mold me,
To the pattern that thou has planned.
