Lyrics:
Verse 1
As I walk this road that’s so uncertain 
As I stare into the face of the unknown
And staring back is all that’s left me hurting                
God, turn my gaze to You and You alone 

For this is not the way I would have chosen
And I can’t yet see light at tunnel’s end
So in the waiting help me keep believing
That on Your promises I can depend 

Because in You I stand on solid ground
You are where all my hope is found 

Chorus
For I know, God, You are on my side
You’re with me in this fight
Greater things are yet to come, oh-oh

So right here is where I choose to stand
I place all things in Your hands       
Not my will but Yours be done

You’ve not left me and You’re not hesitating
You’re working in the waiting

Verse 2
I don’t believe in chance and happenstances
But I do believe, God, in Your sovereignty 
And when You do not change my circumstances 
May You use them to make a change in me

Because You don’t waste a single thing
From this pain, a purpose You will bring 

Chorus
For I know, God, You are on my side
You’re with me in this fight
Greater things are yet to come, oh-oh

So right here is where I choose to stand
I place all things in Your hands       
Not my will but Yours be done

You’ve not left me and You’re not hesitating
You’re working in the waiting

Bridge
So I stand in Your presence in the waiting
I draw near to You right here
I won’t be consumed with contemplating
In You my fears all disappear

I stand in Your presence in the waiting
I draw near to You right here 
I won’t be consumed with contemplating
In You my fears all disappear 

Chorus
For I know, God, You are on my side
You’re with me in this fight
Greater things are yet to come, oh-oh

So right here is where I choose to stand
I place all things in Your hands       
Not my will but Yours be done

You’ve not left me and You’re not hesitating
You’re working in the waiting 

Ending
So I stand in Your presence in the waiting
I draw near to You right here
I won’t be consumed with contemplating
In You my fears all disappear
