Lyrics

[Intro
Piano and soft strings gently play a reflective melody. After 4 measures, a cello joins, setting a hopeful and introspective tone.]

[Verse 1
Piano and light strings.]
When the world feels heavy, and hope is hard to see,
I’m lost in all the chaos, asking, “What’s Your plan for me?”
But in the silence, I hear Your voice so clear,
A whisper in the darkness, “I’ve always been right here.”

[Instrumental Interlude (4 measures)
Soft acoustic guitar strums join the piano as light percussion subtly enters, building anticipation for the pre-chorus.]

[Pre-Chorus
Strings swell gently, percussion builds.]
You hold the future in Your hands,
Through every valley, I’ll still stand.

[Chorus
Full-band instrumentation:]
You have plans for me, plans for good,
To give me hope, like only You could.
In the pain, in the waiting, You’re shaping my heart,
Your love’s the promise that sets me apart.
For I know, yes, I know, You have plans for me.

[Instrumental Bridge (4 measures)
Electric guitar and strings echo the melody of the chorus with a hopeful, uplifting vibe.]

[Verse 2
Back to piano and acoustic guitar.]
When the nights feel endless, and the tears just won’t subside,
I remember every promise, and I let Your Word be my guide.
In a world that’s broken, You’re the anchor in the storm,
Your purpose never wavers, through every shape and form.

[Pre-Chorus
Strings and percussion gradually rise.]
Even when I cannot see,
You’re working something good in me.

[Chorus
Full instrumentation with choir harmonies.]
You have plans for me, plans for good,
To give me hope, like only You could.
In the pain, in the waiting, You’re shaping my heart,
Your love’s the promise that sets me apart.
For I know, yes, I know, You have plans for me.

[Instrumental Break (8 measures)
Choir hums softly while strings and piano create a reflective moment. Electric guitar begins to rise in emotion, leading into the bridge.]

[Bridge
Dramatic instrumentation with heavy drums and full choir backing vocals.]
When the questions come like thunder,
When the doubts tear me asunder,
I’ll cling to Your Word, unshaken, secure,
“For I know the plans I have for you,” You reassure.

[Chorus (Lifted)
Choir and band in full power.]
You have plans for me, plans for good,
To give me hope, like only You could.
In the pain, in the waiting, You’re shaping my heart,
Your love’s the promise that sets me apart.
For I know, yes, I know, You have plans for me.

[Instrumental Refrain (4 measures)
Choir hums while strings swell dramatically, echoing the melody.]

[Outro
Stripped back to piano and cello.]
In every trial, in every fear,
Your plans remind me You’re always near.
For I know, yes, I know, You have plans for me,
And Your love is the thread of my destiny.
