Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Just want to encourage you
Remind you the best is still yet to come
I know the plans that I have for you
Plans to prosper, nothing harm you
And although you may think that your time has passed
God's only saving the best for last
Your future greater than your past
I know the plans that I have for you
Plans to prosper, nothing harm you
And although you may think that your time has passed
God's only saving the best for last
Your future greater than your past (my Sister, Yolanda Adams)
I have a word to share with you (share it)
Those who feel God has forgotten you
I know you feel your time has passed
God's only saving the best for last
And your future greater than your past
I can hear you saying that life won't give you a break
But every step forward, ten steps back you take
But God is the master of strategy
And he's only confusing the enemy
He's getting you ready for the brightest victory, I know
I know the plans that I have for you
Plans to prosper, nothing harm you
And although you may think that your time has passed
God's only saving the best for last
Your future greater than your past
The best for last (sing it, Donald)
Your future greater than your past
Say it for (the best), come on say it for (for last)
I like it when you say it like (your future greater than your past)
The best for last
Your future greater than your past
The best for last
Your future greater than your past
The best for last
The best for last
The best for last
The best for last
I know the plans that I have for you
Plans to prosper, nothing harm you
And although you may think that your time has passed
God's only saving the best for last
Your future greater than your past
