I had made some mighty plans
Thought I held them in my hands
Then my world began to crumble all away
I tried to build it back again
I couldn't bear to see it end
How it hurts to know You wanted it that way
Now I'm so glad
Glad to know the reason
Why I'm happy-sad
That You've torn it all away
Now I'm so glad
Though it hurts to know I'm leaving
Everything I ever thought that I would be
For once I held it in my hands
It was a kingdom made of sand
But now You've blown it all away
I can't believe I can say that I'm glad
Long before my plans were made
See, a master plan was laid
With a power that superseded my control
And if the truth had pierce my heart
Wouldn't have wandered from the start
Trying desperately to make it on my own
But now I'm so glad
Glad to know the reason
That I'm happy-sad
Since You've torn it all away
And I'm so glad
Though it hurts to know I'm leaving
Everything I ever thought that I would be
Once I held it in my hands
It was a kingdom made of sand
But now You've blown it all away
Yes, You've blown it all away
Now I'm so glad
Glad to know the reason
That I'm happy-sad
Since You've torn it all away
And I'm so glad
Though it hurts to know I'm leaving
Everything I ever thought that I would be
For once I held it in my hands
It was a kingdom made of sand
But now You've blown it all away
Yes, You've blown it all away
Yes, You've blown it all away
I can't believe that I can say
Right now, I'm glad
But I'm so glad
Yes, I'm so, I'm so, I'm so very glad
Yes, I'm glad
