"This Is Not How It Should Be..."

Steven Curtis Chapman's latest CD is entitled Beauty Will Rise. The list of songs on the CD are somewhat of a journal put to music in the wake of the Chapman's tragic loss of their daughter, Maria.

Track 7 is entitled Our God Is In Control:

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

This is not how it will be

When we finally will SEE

We'll SEE with our own eyes

He was always in control

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

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

Though this first taste is bitter

There will be sweetness forever

When we finally taste and SEE

That our God is in control

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

We're waiting for that day

We'll keep on waiting for that day

And we will know our God is in control

(Holy, Holy, Holy, Holy, Holy)

Our God is in control

(Holy, Holy, Holy)

Our God is in control

(Holy, Holy, Holy)

Much agreed and much needed.
