This is not how it should be 
This is not how it could be 
This is how it is 
And our God is in control 

This is not how it will be 
When we finally will see 
We'll see with our own eyes 
He was always in control 

And we'll sing holy, holy, holy is our God 
And we will finally really understand what it means 
So we'll sing holy, holy, holy is our God 
While we're waiting for that day 

This is not where we planned to be 
When we started this journey 
But this is where we are 
And our God is in control 

Though this first taste is bitter 
There will be sweetness forever 
When we finally taste and see 
That our God is in control 

And we'll sing holy, holy, holy is our God 
And we will finally really understand what it means 
So we'll sing holy, holy, holy is our God 
While we're waiting for that day 

We're waiting for that day 
We'll keep on waiting for that day 
And we will rise 
Our God is in control 

(Holy, holy, holy) x2 

Our God is in control 

(Holy, holy, holy) 

Our God is in control 

(Holy, holy, holy)
