through this song 16:34 the Lord is silently planning for you if he's been silent in some way but there's an answer that you've been asking for that you haven't yet seen he's silently fighting for you

you that's the promise he has given us so remember he's silently planning for you 17:02 in love [Music] I want to look at that last verse before we sing it the Lord will silently plan for you a happy child kept in his care and think about his love because he is God an infinite in his love it's possible for him to love in such a way 17:18 as if you were his only child that's his love as though no other claimed and he claimed his love but you alone to him were dear that doesn't make us selfish or proud it just reminds us that God's love is so infinite it's not it's a it's a personal love 17:35 it's a love that he's directed towards you individually oh that you would open your eyes lift up your head as we sing the Lord is silently planning for me in love the Lord will silence [Music] 18:06
