This is not how I
Thought that it would be
Crying on the floor
Emmanuel
All that I desire
Slipping through my hands
Like the sand of time
Emmanuel
Down on my knees
I’m waiting on you
Still I know
God with me
I must not forget
You have never left
You have never left
And all I see
Is but a glimpse of what will be
You are greater still
You are greater still
This is not how I
Thought that it would be
To carry Hope in me
Emmanuel
I should sing for joy
But I feel overwhelmed
This calling is too great
Emmanuel
Down on my knees
I’m waiting on you
Still I know
Greater than all my deepest fears
Greater than all my wildest dreams
Your thoughts for me are higher
Your plans by far exceed
Every hope I’ve long since lost
Every doubt I can’t let go
