FUTURE NOT MY OWN
The spirit of the prayer that inspired this song, from Archbishop Oscar Romero, suggests it’s good to take a step back and consider the long view. Remember that you are not God, and you can’t see the end result of things. The last line of the prayer is really poignant. Romero said, ‘We are prophets of a future not our own.’ What would your response be to that prayer? My response to the prayer was, ‘God, I need a future not my own. I need a future that’s not of my design.’
This song describes the cry of the human heart that does not have a clear sense of where things are going and is looking for a sense of direction. What we need to remember is that God has everything in His grasp. We need just follow Him.
