The Plan

I could use some help with this poem I wrote. I'd love to make it a regular meter throughout each of the verses so that it can be put to music. I'm open to adjustment of other words as well.

Each day is a gift,
To do with as you will -
Your heart will predict
Destinations that are real.
Though your past is forgotten,
And your future yet unknown,
Each choice that is before you
Will lead or stray from home.
Your heavenly home above
Awaits through covenants,
While Jesus as your Savior
Will lead in reverence.
Though your road may seem dark,
And your closest future dim.
His promises are eternal -
If you will but look to Him!
What great blessings await you!
What great blessings he gave!
Your all-powerful Father loves you!
Open your heart and let him save!
You have promised you are willing-
To take Christ's name as yours.
He promises his Spirit to help you
But so much more is in store.
In his temple you may enter
Serving those who came before.
Invite that peace to stay with you,
You feel entering those doors.
Then continue living worthily,
Through Christ's grace being healed,
Preparing for eternal life,
Through all eternity sealed!
