a very dark time
It was a very dark place
There was a visible force
And an invisible grace
I know they must have felt
so caught up in the way of things.
Small and defenseless
at the mercy of an evil king.
Still they rode on to Bethlehem
a gentle woman
and a righteous man.
They found an unassuming home
An d a baby was born
And all along, there was a plan
Moving just beneath the surface
of the world we understand
It was so small. It was so grand.
An d it rose to be the glory
and the power in His hand.
There was a place.
It was a very dark time.
Another very dark place
There was an arrogant force
A quiet, innocent grace
I know they must have felt
So trapped inside of circumstance
Without a voice in holding
next to nothing in their hands
And still a sacred strategy
Hidden inside the heart to
say you are free
The children sang out in the streets
and the walls came down.
And all along, there was a plan
moving just beneath the surface
of the world we understand.
It was so small. It was so grand.
And it rose to be the glory
That would cover all the land
There was a plan
He is working through the night
Behind the scenes, behind the eyes
Though we would never
realize it at a glance
When he comes to work in me
The building of eternity I pray
I do not miss the moment,
do not miss the chance
Do not miss the chance
I still believe there is a plan
Moving just beneath the surface
of the world we understand
It is so small, it will be grand.
It will rise to be the glory
that will shine on every man.
I still believe, I still believe
there is a plan.
I still believe.
I still believe.
There is a plan.
I still believe.
I still be lieve.
There is a plan.
You
