I Will Follow God’s Plan Flip Chart
I love creating flip charts that are fuss free! I didn’t like having to flip pages after each line of the song, so I streamline my flip charts into as few of pages as possible while still using a nice large font that’s easy to read!
Then, I add in colored keywords and photos to help bring the lyrics to life! You can see my entire collection of Flip charts for Singing Time in our landing page post!

I Will Follow God’s Plan Lyrics
This song is published in the Children’s Songbook Page #164
You can find I Will Follow God’s Plan sheet music here.
Lyrics:
My life is a gift; my life has a plan.
My life has a purpose; in heav’n it began.
My choice was to come to this lovely home on earth
And seek for God’s light to direct me from birth.
I will follow God’s plan for me,
Holding fast to his word and his love.
I will work, and I will pray;
I will always walk in his way.
Then I will be happy on earth
And in my home above.
“I Will Follow God’s Plan” by Vanja Y. Watkins (b. 1938)
