It was 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 And 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 And it rose to be the glory and the power in His hand There was a plan It was a very dark time Another very dark place There was an arrogant voice A quiet innocent grace I know they must have felt so trapped inside of circumstance Without a voice and holding next to nothing in their hands And still a sacred strategy Hidden inside the heart said 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 believe There is a plan
