Much, Much Better

Verse 1:
The people were waiting, hearts full of hope,
For a king to deliver, for a way to cope.
They thought He would come with a sword in His hand,
To rule over nations, to take His stand.
A warrior, a king, from David's own line,
To break every chain, make their nation shine.
But little did they know, the plan was divine,
What Jesus had in store was a love so fine.
Chorus:
What you have planned, Lord, is much, much better,
Not a crown of gold, but love that lasts forever.
They were looking for a king to rule the land,
But you came to redeem with your nail-scarred hand.
You came to heal, you came to save,
Your purpose was so much better, so much more brave.
What you have planned, Jesus, is a love so true,
A divine plan for me, and for you.
Verse 2:
They thought He would come as a warrior bold,
To break every chain, to take back the gold.
But He came as a servant, humble and mild,
With a heart full of mercy, gentle and wild.
Not for the throne, but for the cross,
To suffer and die, to bear our loss.
He didn't bring war, He brought peace from above,
A plan so much better, built on grace and love.
Chorus:
What you have planned, Lord, is much, much better,
Not a crown of gold, but love that lasts forever.
They were looking for a king to rule the land,
But you came to redeem with your nail-scarred hand.
You came to heal, you came to save,
Your purpose was so much better, so much more brave.
What you have planned, Jesus, is a love so true,
A divine plan for me, and for you.
Bridge:
Oh, they missed the truth in their longing for the fight,
But Jesus came to bring us out of darkness into light.
He didn't stay in the tomb, He rose again,
And now we live in victory, with Him as our friend.
Much, much better than what we could see,
He set us free for all eternity!
Verse 3:
He conquered the grave, He rose up high,
No other king can claim that kind of victory, oh my!
He didn’t come for riches, He came for the lost,
A Savior who paid the ultimate cost.
He is the Messiah, the Savior so true,
And His plan was much better for me and for you.
Chorus:
What you have planned, Lord, is much, much better,
Not a crown of gold, but love that lasts forever.
They were looking for a king to rule the land,
But you came to redeem with your nail-scarred hand.
You came to heal, you came to save,
Your purpose was so much better, so much more brave.
What you have planned, Jesus, is a love so true,
A divine plan for me, and for you.
Outro:
Much, much better, Jesus, your plan divine,
Forever and ever, your love will shine.
Your purpose is clear, your kingdom is here,
And through your cross, we have no fear.
What you have planned is so much better,
A divine love that lasts forever!
