Anticipating Not

They move ahead with certainty, what they plan will come to be,
Making plans with an expectation, waiting with sure anticipation,
That the plans which they sow, just like a tree, shall surely grow,
But, without Christ, for sure, the plans they make will not endure.

Nations also make their plans too, with expectations, this is true,
However, the plans they long to see, are not sown with certainty,
Because the Decrees of The Lord, by many nations, go ignored,
So those darker plans of men, God Himself will surely condemn.

Many a people and nations too, plot out a plan that they pursue,
As they pursue their every desire, of other men they may inquire,
Never looking into God’s Ways, for they seek only man’s praise,
In man’s ways they put their trust, in beings who return unto dust.

Many plans which we see today, are put in place by men of clay,
Their plans fail before they begin, for they are inundated with sin,
And these men are like the grass, promoting ways that won’t last,
The dark plans that they create, The Righteous Lord will frustrate.

Man made plans oppose The Lord, and their ways aren’t ignored,
By a Sovereign Righteous God, reigning over all this earthly sod,
In the plans many contemplate, Judgment they do not anticipate,
So plans are ended by the Lord, as Judgment by God is poured.

The Lord’s Spirit will not contend, with man’s evil ways in the end,
Man’s foolishness, in God’s eyes, is thought by many to be wise,
Man’s godless ways and thought, will bring man’s plan to naught,
As the only plan that shall endure, is the Eternal plan of The Lord.

Their Plans,

Their Plans,
Their Plans will never avail,
We will see that World Emerge with Beauty,
The Great Covenant is between God and man,
All that they planned will Fail,
The God of Justice will make us Prevail with Beauty,
All the bad plans that they had made agains't us will Fail,
We will see Redemption when the God of Justice come's and save Mankind.

My conscience is clear.

She seemed wide eyed and innocent.
The answer to a young mans dreams.
They seemed to meet by accident.
But things aren't always as they seem.

She planned their meeting carefully.
Paid great attention to detail.
She was as sure as she could be.
There was no way her plan could fail.

She was quite certain she could count
On access to his bank account.
At least to use his credit card.
To earn herself a nice reward.

He too was certain of success.
He knew that he was penniless
And planned to take her for a ride.
Instead of making her his bride.

Two con artists head to head.
There's little more that can be said.
There was no chance they could foresee.
their plans would fail: Inevitably..

She looked wide eyed and innocent.
He seemed to be a gentleman.
Though both were overconfident.
they couldn't fail. Fate had other plans.


Although they were prepared to cheat.
To demonstrate their competence
But did not know the must compete
to win the others confidence.

She was convinced she had him fooled.
He was quite certain he would win.
But fate stepped in and overruled.
Their well laid plans to their chagrin.

They both left town quite suddenly.
And left their unpaid bills behind.
Along with sundry property.
Which by default I claimed as mine.

I made a profit from their sale.
Which more than covered my expense.
For me to win they had to fail.
A matter of expedience..

I lost much less than what I gained.
Enjoyed the whole experience.
Which keeps my close friends entertained.
I feel no need for penitence.

A Larger Plan

You set your mind and your heart, on your goal right from the start.
You then begin to plan a course, consulting every available source.
As you plan for hopes and needs, you also plant a few extra seeds,
Placing just a few irons in the fire, and this plan’s for a future desire.

However, you can never be quite sure, just which plans will endure,
Or which plans made in this life, could lead you into unknown strife.
When you fall into times of strife, God’s Plan creates a peaceful life.
So as you choose to plan ahead, be sure you seek His Plan instead.

Times change; we know not why, and some dreams will tend to die.
Even when your directions change, real Hope will remain the same.
What truly never dies is real hope, the staying force helps you cope,
Helps you cope in changing times, when your plans are misaligned.

This is the Hope from up above, which changes lives by God’s Love.
Our Blessed Hope in Jesus Christ, is the stabilizing force in this life.
Friend, the only hope that will endure, is the Hope in Christ our Lord.
He extends beyond an earthly hope, expanding to an eternal scope.

You can make your plans my friend, but God directs them in the end,
For The Lord God has a larger plan, and wants to include every man.
But you my friend must do your part, and have a real change of heart,
Then when real change does come, you’ll be in Eternity with His Son.

Everything Is Going To Be Like My Plan

Duty must be fulfilled
But everything is going to be like my plan
People could lie to me
But everything is going to be like my plan
Pray may be often
But everything is going to be like my plan
Time flies uncontrolled
But everything is going to be like my plan
Destiny may not be cooperated
But everything is going to be like my plan
Other plan may ruin mine
But everything is going to be like my plan
Body is reaching the limit
But everything is going to be like my plan
The will should be strengthened
But everything is going to be like my plan
The anxiety may be doubled
But everything is going to be like my plan
Critics never disappear
But everything is going to be like my plan
Life is unfair
But everything is going to be like my plan
The way seems lost
But everything is going to be like my plan
Regret is gnawing my sense
But everything is going to be like my plan
The goal still far away
But everything is going to be like my plan
The future end may unseen
But everything is going to be like my plan
Source may not be enough
But everything is going to be like my plan
Things always change
But everything is going to be like my plan
Problem keeps occurring
But everything is going to be like my plan
World would laugh
But everything is going to be like my plan
Failure keeps happening
But everything is going to be like my plan
Memories may not help
But everything is going to be like my plan
Luck may test me
But everything is going to be like my plan
Love may not support me
But everything is going to be like my plan
Weather wants to rebel
But everything is going to be like my plan
The form may be different
But everything is going to be like my plan
Hope could fool me
But everything is going to be like my plan

Youve Got Me Wondering

Gave us life for the living
And love for the giving
So thanks for the making
Its nice partaking
Now you got me wondering how it all began
My imagination fails to perceive
A million different questions fail to get an answer
I think thats why Ill always believe
As we go through this life
Well ask you once or twice
Was all this your making
Sleep, dreaming, waking
Sweet is the sound of your voice
Singing your song
Leaving my questions undone
Oh you get me wondering
Now you got me wondering how it all began
My imagination fails to perceive
A million different questions fail to get an answer
I think thats why Ill always believe
Now you got me wondering how it all began
My imagination fails to perceive
A million different questions fail to get an answer
I think thats why Ill always believe

You can always amend a big plan, but you can never expand a little one. I don't believe in little plans. I believe in plans big enough to meet a situation which we can't possibly foresee now.

Maybe Your Baby

Im feelin down and some kind of lonely,
Cause my baby done left me here,
Hearts blazing like a five alarm fire
And I dont even give a care
I feel like the world is turnin on me,
My dreams turnin to ashes right in front of my face,
And Im gettin kind of worried,
And I feel so out of place,
Maybe your baby done made some other plans,
Maybe your baby done made some other plans.
(background) . . I feel like cryin, yeh, yeh
Maybe baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
In the mornin when Ive got heartache,
I cant call up the doctor for help,
Cause the only person that could ever do me any good,
Is steppin out with my best friend.
I feel like Im slippin deeper,
Slippin deeper into myself,
And I cant take it,
This stuff is scarin me to death,
Maybe your baby done made some other plans,
Kinda makin me worried,
Maybe your baby done made some other plans,
Little sally walker, sittin in a saucer,
Checkin out the guys that are passing by,
(background)...by, by, by, by...
Maybe your baby done made some other plans
Maybe your baby done made some other plans,
Not includin future plans,
Maybe your baby done made some other plans,
Maybe my baby done made some other plans,
Maybe my baby done made another plan
With another man. your baby, your baby, stupid baby, your baby,
That you put so trust so much trust in your baby,
Maybe your baby done made some other plans.

I think when you’re doing a lead role, there is so much more pressure. If you fail, not only do you fail, but everybody else fails, too. As opposed to when it’s a supporting role and it’s only you that sucked.

Plan 'B

I never thought I'd react in this way for a guy that doesn't belong to me
If things didn't work out between us..he could have been my Plan 'B'
But this is no more...the day he befriended 'her'
My Plan 'B no longer exist
Didn't get the chance to tell 'A' that I quit
I blew it! ! !
I opted for the 20(20%) and left the 80(80%)
80 was good to me.. i blew it
I left him for 20
Now I have nothing my hands are empty
It took me a while to figure it out, ,
With 80 there was nothing there for me..
And I was cool with that, , , but not until lately
80 was always eager to befrend me
Hmmm.. what a friend I am, , he never neglected me
But I'm not so sure am I overpraising him?
Am I underestimating him? ...
Maybe 80 was just a mere 20
Why did he had to befrend her...
She did it before ignored my scacred ground and ifiltrated my 20
Why did they have to meet? ? , , ,
First Plan 'A' now 'B'
Why everything feels so screwed up
Her and I had our many encounters
From 'small talk' to hurtful pictures
I just can't go through that again not with another(guy)
Dammit B why did you have to befriend her? ?
I just can't deal wit her yet another time...
Even if Plan 'A' fails 'B' could never be mine.
...I never had a Plan 'B'

Victor Hugo

He who every morning plans the transaction of the day and follows out that plan, carries a thread that will guide him through the maze of the most busy life. But where no plan is laid, where the disposal of time is surrendered merely to the chance of incidence, chaos will soon reign.

Making Plans

You say tomorrow youre going
Its so hard for me to believe
Im making plans for the heartaches
cause youre making plans to leave
The tears for me will be falling
Like a tree shedding its leaves
Im making plans for the tear drops
cause youre making plans to leave
Youre making plans to forget me
Im making plans to miss you
Im getting ready ti grieve
Im making plans to be lonesome
cause youre making plans to leave
Im making plans to be lonesome
cause youre making plans to leave

I need you son,

I need you son,
I need you son,
This is the telling,
That you are there for me,
Never watch me die that I may fail,
I need you son that I may see you Father,
The chosen that you may rock I with love,

I need you son that you may never take mine,
To take mine is not the calling,
I need you son,
That I may find that knowledge from victim to victor,
Call on me son,
That you may come and see prayer as the only resolution,
Son that I need it,
In all the Master Plan,
That I need you son,
That I may see all the plan that you gave this man,
Man to man,
Tell me that I got to survive in all injustice,
This is the Battle of the saints,
That there is no justice in the world today,
Think that History is being laced by these words again,
God will never let us down even if they plan evil.

Cat and Bat's Revenge

The day the cat
and the bat
ate the rat
'Now peace b'coz we don't need to fight
for the rat'
said the cat.
'OK.' said the bat who hanging upside down on the wall
his shadow looking grand and tall
but the rats of the other world were scared
b'coz one of them read
the agreement
now the fastest mouse made a plan
to cut the wires of the fan
so it fell on the cat,
but the bat
took the rat and ate all his fat
the rats were frightened
so they sent another robotic rat
to outwit the bat and cat
now the plan was ready
and it was also fine
but unluckily came the bad pine
of the tree
which always helped the cat and the bat flee
from the rats net
which would always fail b'coz of the bat's friend the pine tree
who would help them see
the wicked plans of the rats
and tell them to all the bats
oh poor rats
getting all eaten up by cats(and bats)
then came the wisest rat sniper the 'sniper'
he went and cut the tree
and didn’t let the cat
and the bat flee
he threw a pan
on the fan
which hit the cat
and the bat
on thier heads
so now they are saved
from the cat
and bat
but now what?
here comes a rat
who's on the side of the cat
and the bat
the wisest mouse got him in the team again and put him to deep
sleep
so the cat and the bat
ate the 'EVIL' rat.
