[Verse 1]
This is not how it should be
This is not how it could be
But this is how it is
And our God is in control

[Verse 2]
This is not how it will be
When we finally will see
We'll see with our own eyes
He was always in control

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

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
Though this first taste is bitter
There will be sweetness forever
When we finally "taste and see"
That our God is in control
[Chorus]
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...

[Outro]
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!)
(Holy, holy, holy!)
Our God is in control
(Holy, holy, holy!)
Our God is in control
(Holy, holy, holy!)
