Plans
Tim Hughes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Help us see the world through Your eyes
Finding beauty in the broken
Trusting promises You've spoken
You've got plans to give us
A future and a hope
We are not forgotten
Plans to lead us home into Your heart
You are always with us
Everywhere we are
You stay loyal for a lifetime
Through the shadows and the sunlight
When our worries overtake us
We believe that they won't break us
You've got plans to give us
A future and a hope
We are not forgotten
We are not alone
Plans to lead us home into Your heart
You are always with us
Everywhere we are
On and on Your love will never stop
Shining down upon us
Never letting up
On and on Your love will see us through
Even in the shadows
We will trust in You
You've got plans to give us
A future and a hope
We are not forgotten
We are not alone
Plans to lead us home into Your heart
You are always with us
Everywhere we are
You've got plans to give us
A future and a hope
We are not forgotten
We are not alone
Plans to lead us home into Your heart
You are always with us
Everywhere we are
On and on Your love will never stop
Shining down upon us
Never letting up
On and on Your love will see us through
Even in the shadows
We will trust in You
The song "Plans" by Tim Hughes encourages listeners to see the world through God's eyes, even amidst difficult circumstances, and to trust in the promises that He has spoken. The lyrics speak of how God has plans for each of us - plans that give us a future and a hope, plans that will bring us home into His heart. The song emphasizes the everlasting and unwavering love of God, which will never stop shining down upon us and seeing us through even in the darkest of times.
The first verse of the song focuses on finding beauty in the brokenness of the world, something that is only possible by seeing the world through God's eyes. The second verse speaks of God's loyalty, which lasts throughout our entire lifetime regardless of the challenges we may face. Both verses communicate the message that we can trust in God to guide us through any situation, as He has promised to always be with us.
The chorus of the song repeats the central message of the lyrics, that God has plans to lead us towards a future and a hope. This hope is grounded in the knowledge that we are not forgotten or alone, as God is always with us no matter where we are. The repeated use of the phrase "on and on" in the bridge and final chorus emphasizes the permanence and constancy of God's love, which will never let us down even in the darkest moments.
Overall, the song "Plans" is a powerful reminder of God's unconditional love and His faithfulness to guide us towards a fulfilling future. It encourages listeners to trust in God's promises and to see the world with His perspective, even amidst the brokenness and chaos of life.
