This song by Steven Curtis Chapman inspired me to make this graduation 2020 card. It is called the Glorious Unfolding and talks about how things haven't turned out as you planned, but walking through it with God is going to be okay.
I printed the lyrics on computer paper after figuring out where they needed to be. The explosion part of the card is 3 sheets of parchment paper squares size: 8.5 x 8.5. The cover is chipboard at 4.5 x 4.5--painted black. Added a tassel, folded and glued everything together. I made about 20 of these, so finally got good at it by the end.
Here's a link to the music video:
Here are the Glorious Unfolding lyrics:
Lay your head down tonight
Take a rest from the fight
Donât try to figure it out
Just listen to what Iâm whispering to your heart
âCause I know this is not
Anything like you thought
The story of your life was gonna be
And it feels like the end has started closing in on you
But itâs just not true
Thereâs so much of the story thatâs still yet to unfold
And this is going to be a glorious unfolding
Just you wait and see and you will be amazed
Youâve just got to believe the story is so far from over
So hold on to every promise God has made to us
And watch this glorious unfolding
Godâs plan from the start
For this world and your heart
Has been to show His glory and His grace
Forever revealing the depth and the beauty of
His unfailing Love
And the story has only begun
And this is going to be a glorious unfolding
Just you wait and see and you will be amazed
Weâve just got to believe the story is so far from over
So hold on to every promise God has made to us
And watch this glorious unfolding
We were made to run through fields of forever
Singing songs to our Savior and King
So let us remember this life weâre living
Is just the beginning of the beginning
Of this glorious unfolding
We will watch and see and we will be amazed
If we just keep on believing the story is so far from over
And hold on to every promise God has made to us
Weâll see the glorious unfolding
Just watch and see (unfolding)
This is just the beginning of the beginning (unfolding)
