Lyrics
Chorus
My power is perfected in your weakness
My grace, my child, is more than enough for you
Full atonement, can it be? Grace amazing, rich and free
Life abundant, all My promises come true
Verse 1
You ask for Me to hide My eyes from sin
When My Son’s own blood has washed it all away
No, my precious, I won’t turn away, I see only my child
Clean and pure and perfect as you’ll be one day
Chorus
My power is perfected in your weakness
My grace, my child, is more than enough for you
Full atonement, can it be? Grace amazing, rich and free
Life abundant, all My promises come true
Verse 2
You ask for Me to walk the road beside you
When it’s My own hand that formed the road you’re on
No, my child, I will not walk beside you, I will carry you
In the hands pierced through with nails to bring you home
Verse 3
You ask for me to take away the shadow
When My Son has walked death’s valley just for you
No, my child, this sorrow brings a crown, and lasts but for a night
In the morning, My great mercies are renewed
Bridge 1
Higher are My thoughts than yours
(For I know the plans I have for you)
Greater are My plans than yours
(plans to prosper you and not to harm you)
Higher are My thoughts than yours
(plans to give you a future and a hope Jer. 29:11 NIV)
Greater are My plans than yours
Chorus
My power is perfected in your weakness
My grace, my child, is more than enough for you
Full atonement, can it be? Grace amazing, rich and free
Life abundant, all My promises come true
Verse 4
You ask for Me to tarry a little longer
Wait another day until you’re at My throne
No, my child, I will not tarry long, your mansion’s nearly done
And I cannot wait until I bring you home

Higher are My thoughts than yours
Greater are My plans than yours
Higher are My thoughts than yours
Greater are My plans than yours
Higher are My thoughts than yours
Greater are My plans than yours
