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
