God's Got A Better Plan
Canton Junction Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You built your life on good intentions
Succeeded more than time to mention
Then you watched your whole world fall apart
He's not another dream enhancer
God is your one and only answer
The reason He won't finish what you start

God's got a better plan
He's so much wiser than the ways of man
Put it all in His able hands – He knows what to do
He's qualified and well-rehearsed
Creator of the Universe
When you've done all you can
God's got a better plan

Standing there on the field of battle
You can hear the giant's saber rattle
Never do what all those doubters say
Take the armor off and never choose it
You just need a stone and faith to use it
You won't be the one who falls today

God's got a better plan
He's so much wiser than the ways of man
Put it all in His able hands – He knows what to do
He's qualified and well-rehearsed
Creator of the Universe
When you've done all you can
God's got a better plan
Avoid that self-inflicted consequence
Even when it seems that it defies all common sense

God's got a better plan
He's so much wiser than the ways of man
Put it all in His able hands – He knows what to do
He's qualified and well-rehearsed
Creator of the Universe
When you've done all you can
God's got a better plan
Qualified and well-rehearsed
Creator of the Universe
When you; ve done all you can




God's got a better plan
God's got a better plan
