The Inexperienced Carpenter

I built my roof out of feathers

I built my walls out of sand

I built my floor out of clouds

and it looked very grand

But then came the wind

 and the waves and the rain

and I had to build

my house up again 

The Future

She has her whole life

all figured out

knows what she’s doing

without a doubt

she has it all planned

she has it all mapped

she knows how to succeed

she knows how to react

He’s ahead of the game

he’s completely prepared

he knows just what he’ll be

and he never is scared

he’s full of potential

his life is arranged

he has plans for this world

he will bring about change

What about me?

I haven’t a clue

about who I will be

and what I will do

Sure, I have dreams

but that’s not enough

and this isn’t easy

it’s really quite tough

But do I really

need to know?

can anyone but God

know how the wind will blow?

and so I leave

this in His hands

He loves me forever

and has incredible plans
