9. Unplanned yet Chosen
Description
“Unplanned yet Chosen” shifts the spotlight onto children who arrive without human intent but who are still fully purposed by El Elyon (God Most High). Inspired by Ephesians 2:10—which declares that we are God’s workmanship—this song confronts the cultural narrative that an “unplanned” pregnancy is necessarily undesirable or burdensome. Instead, it offers a hopeful perspective: every life, no matter how unexpected, is part of God’s sovereign design.
The musical backdrop mingles tender strings with resonant percussion, illustrating the tension between human fear and divine calling. The first verse lays out the fears many parents experience when faced with an unplanned pregnancy—financial worries, social pressures, or even shame. The second verse pivots to repentance, inviting believers to confess any judgments or dismissive attitudes they’ve harbored toward such situations.
Throughout, the lyrics invoke Jehovah Rapha for emotional healing and call on Ruach HaKodesh to embolden mothers and fathers to choose life. The chorus rises as a unifying declaration: “No child unseen, no story forgotten. Unplanned by man, yet chosen by You.” This anthem underscores the principle that God knows and loves each child before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4).
By the concluding refrain, the song transcends beyond merely addressing abortion or crisis pregnancies. It becomes a rallying cry for the Church to celebrate life in all its forms, extending grace and practical support to those overwhelmed by unexpected circumstances. “Unplanned yet Chosen” thus serves as a melodic reminder that God’s plans often exceed human understanding, and His perfect love banishes fear.

Key Scriptures
• Ephesians 2:10 – We are God’s workmanship, created for good works He prepared beforehand.
• Jeremiah 29:11 – God’s plans are for welfare and not for evil, to give a future and a hope.
• Proverbs 3:5–6 – Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.
Devotion
Many pregnancies are deemed “unplanned” from a human perspective. Financial stress, career trajectories, or relational strife often leave parents feeling unprepared to welcome a child. Yet Scripture reassures us that while a child may be unplanned to us, they are chosen by God. Ephesians 2:10 proclaims we are His workmanship, created for His good purposes—no exceptions.
“Unplanned yet Chosen” echoes this profound truth. Jeremiah 29:11 speaks of God’s overarching plan to give hope and a future. Even if an expecting mother or father initially feels overwhelmed, the Lord has a design and destiny for that child—one that supersedes human fears. By trusting in El Elyon, we acknowledge that “His ways are higher than our ways” (Isaiah 55:9).
This revelation challenges us to break the cultural myth that “unplanned” equates to “unwanted” or “unworthy.” Though many abortions occur due to practical concerns, the Body of Christ can step in and remind couples that God provides. Jehovah Jireh reveals Himself in community support, financial help, counseling, and a fellowship that celebrates every life as a gift. Instead of leaning on human logic alone, Proverbs 3:5–6 encourages us to trust wholeheartedly in the Lord’s guidance.
If you or someone you know is dealing with an unplanned pregnancy, pause and invite the Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh) to speak peace and assurance. Ask the Lord to open doors for the resources and relationships necessary to raise this child in love. For the broader Church, this is a rallying cry to surround expectant parents with unwavering support, eliminating the fear that so often fuels tragic decisions.
As you worship with “Unplanned yet Chosen,” let it reinforce your confidence that no life is accidental in God’s eyes. Every heartbeat is precious, and every child—no matter the circumstances of conception—is cherished by Yeshua HaMashiach.
Prayer
El Elyon, thank You for having a plan and purpose for every life. Replace fear with faith in the hearts of expectant parents. May Your Church rise to support them, reflecting Your fatherly care. In Yeshua’s name, amen.
