This song is based on Jeremiah 29:11-14, God’s promise through Jeremiah to the exiles that He had a plan for them. He would give them a future and a hope, and they would once again find Him when they sought Him. This was encouraging news for the exiles who were experiencing the judgment of God.

These words are also an encouragement for us. No matter how much trouble is around us, we can trust that God has a plan, and with God there will always be a future and a hope. The cross always gives way to resurrection. This song is a proclamation that we and our plans are really in God’s hands as He prepares a future for us, a future that we can embrace.
