[Verse 1]
I'm just a man that was promised some land but I'm dying
Hoping for more but I guess what's in store wasn't mine

[Pre-Chorus]
So Lord, help me to pray
'Cause it seems like today you're not by me
But I know that you are
'Cause you got me this far your way

[Chorus]
Guess that Promised Land
Wasn't in my plan
Oh, and maybe someday
I'll figure out this game you play
But right now I can't understand
Why I never made it
Made it to the Promised Land

[Verse 2]
I'm just a man and I can't understand but I'm trying
This plan that's divine is so different than mine I can't find it

[Pre-Chorus]
So Lord, help me to pray
'Cause it seems like today you're not by me
But I know that you are
'Cause you got me this far your way
[Chorus]
Guess that Promised Land
Oh, wasn't in my plan
Oh, and maybe someday
I'll figure out this game you play
But right now I can't understand
Why I never made it
Made it to the Promised Land

[Bridge]
And I know one day there will be no suffering
But right now I can't see because I'm wondering
If you're real and you still have control over my life
Lord, open my eyes so I can finally realize
That what is in store is so much more than that

[Chorus]
Promised Land
That wasn't in my plan
Oh, and then on that day
When I finally see your face
And I'm resting in your amazing grace
You'll say, "Son, you made it
You made it to the Promised Land"

[Outro]
Well I'm just a man and I can't understand
But I'm trying
