(Brown Bannister, Chris Christian, Amy Grant)
I had laid some mighty plans
Thought I held them in my hands
Then my world began to crumble all away
I tried to build it back again
I couldn't bear to see it end
How I hurt to know You wanted it that way
[Chorus:]
And I'm so glad, glad to find the reason
That I'm happy-sad that You've torn it all away
And I'm so glad, though it hurts to know I'm leaving
Everything I ever thought that I would be
Once I held it in my hand
It was a kingdom made of sand
But now you've blown it all away
I can't believe that I can say that I'm glad
Long before my plans were made
I know a master plan was laid
With a power that superceded my control
And if that truth could pierce my heart
I wouldn't wander from the start
Trying desperately to make it on my own
[Chorus]
