He just Closed the Door

The future looked bright
and my hopes were so high.
The whole seemed right
and our dreams touched the sky.
Then the dark storm clouds came
like so often before ...
and I knew it would rain
when my God closed the door.

He has just closed the door
on our dreams and our plans.
And the stormclouds hang o'er.
Will we ever see land?
Yes, I trust and believe
though I can't understand,
but I'm safe in the ark
while my broken heart mends.

His mysterious ways
I cannot contemplate,
But instructions He gave
was to trust and to wait.
I will cross troubled waters
to a wide open door ...
and I'll know by His rainbow
my ship sailed ashore.
