It was always planned that Christ would die; God and the Prophets could not lie.
All the time there was a Master Plan.
Who can cause this to work out? God can.
The Master Plan finally came to be:
Christ died for you and me. No other sacrifice would do;
It could not come about by me or you.
No other plan had so thoroughly been thought out, And Christ only could bring it about.
This Plan was harsh, but needful and good.
If anyone could fulfill it, Christ could.
This Plan was talked about long ago, When ... I just don't know.
It was a Plan concerning you and me.
Christ knew there was no one else to make it be.
This Plan is for all people, all races.
Now we must preach it to them in all places?
This Plan we must take to everyone, And tell them about Jesus, God's Son.
Without God's Plan we would be doomed, And by our own sins we would be consumed.
But in the Plan God had considered this:
His blood would cleanse us, Heaven we must not miss.
The Plan worked out very well.
Now in Heaven we can dwell.
God has prepared for us a place.
Jesus would die, and save us by His grace.
