[Verse]
For I know the plans I have for you
Declares the Lord
Plans to prosper you and not to harm you
Plans to give you hope
And a future
[Chorus]
Lord, give me a purpose
Show me your plan
Use me anyway
However you can
Give me wisdom
Help me understand
Give me faith to put my trust in your hands
[Verse]
What's the point in writing a song
That doesn't help someone change?
What's the point in singing a song
That doesn't glorify Jesus' name?
[Chorus]
I need a song that's gonna move my spirit
I need a song from heaven
So that others may hear it
I need a song that's gonna move my spirit
I need a song from heaven
So that others may hear it
[Bridge]
I don't want to sing
Just to be singing a song
I don't want to go to church
Just to act like nothing's wrong
As long as I have you, Lord
I'll never be alone
And thank you, Jesus, for helping me carry on
[Chorus]
What's the point in writing a song
That doesn't help someone change?
What's the point in singing a song
That doesn't glorify Jesus' name?
I need a song that's gonna move my spirit
I need a song from heaven
So that others may hear it
I need a song that's gonna move my spirit
I need a song from heaven
So that others may hear it
[Bridge]
There's things in my life
That I can't explain
There's things in my life
That I can't change
There's things in my life
That may also be the same
There's things in my life
That still brings me pain
[Chorus]
What's the point in writing a song
That doesn't help someone change?
What's the point in singing a song
That doesn't glorify Jesus' name?
I need a song that's gonna move my spirit
I need a song from heaven
So that others may hear it
I need a song that's gonna move my spirit
I need a song from heaven
So that others may hear it
[Outro]
I need a song that's gonna move my spirit
I need a song from heaven
So that others may hear it
I need a song that's gonna move my spirit
I need a song from heaven
So that others may hear it
I need a song that's gonna move my spirit
I need a song from heaven
So that others may hear it
I need a song that's gonna move my spirit
I need a song from heaven
So that others may hear it
