I thought it was over, God had other plans
I thought it was over, God had other plans
I thought it was over, God had other plans
Took my life, laid it down, placed it in his hands
I thought it was over, God had other plans
I thought it was over, God had other plans
I thought it was over, God had other plans
Took my life, laid it down, placed it in his hands
I'm free
I'm free
I'm free
I'm free, I'm free
Yeah I'm free
I thought it was over, God had other plans
I thought it was over, God had other plans
I thought it was over, God had other plans
Took my life, laid it down, placed it in his hands
I remember waking up and I ain't wan' get out of bed
Didn't know how to get from a to b with visions in my head
I remember being discouraged by what certain people said
They won't help you with the recipe but they still want the bread
Had some family in my hometown, never came to shows
Had some homies who weren't for me and I had to let 'em go
I fought depression, I was strugglin' with my bank account was low
It burned my heart to hear my sister ask for somethin', tell her no
Then the most high on the mainline said I'm his
And he wouldn't leave me out the dry, he blessed me with these gifts
He reminded me how far I've come and all that I've been through
He said the more you sacrifice to me the more I give to you
And so I've built my God an altar and with every single song
I would give the people anthems, in my weakness he was strong
I said Lord I give you all of me, I lay it in your hands
I thought it was over, God had other plans
I thought it was over, God had other plans
I thought it was over, God had other plans
I thought it was over, God had other plans
Took my life, laid it down, placed it in his hands
I thought it was over, God had other plans
I thought it was over, God had other plans
I thought it was over, God had other plans
Took my life, laid it down, placed it in his hands
Yea cause I'm free
