The Holy Detour

The Holy Detour

(Verse 1)

They look at my life and they count me out

They see the wreckage, they hear the doubt

They whisper, "Look at how the waters rose"

Like this is the end of the road I chose

But they’re looking at the surface, looking at the skin

They don't know the Kingdom that I’m standing in

They see a casualty of the storm

But I see a breakthrough taking form.

(Chorus)

'Cause they don’t know what I have when I have You

They see a dead end, You see a avenue

Every heavy wind is a sovereign shift

Every broken dream was a hidden gift

You use the valley just to change my view

Oh, it’s a holy detour

Bringing me back to You.

(Verse 2)

The door didn’t slam, it was closed by Grace

To keep my feet from the wrong, wrong place

I cried for the comfort of the easy road

While You were protecting what my future holds

Now the blindside doesn't feel like a threat

It’s just a redirection I haven't seen yet

Let the ground shake, let the plans fall through

The foundation holds when the anchor is You.

(Chorus)

'Cause they don’t know what I have when I have You

They see a dead end, You see a avenue

Every heavy wind is a sovereign shift

Every broken dream was a hidden gift

You use the valley just to change my view

Oh, it’s a holy detour

Bringing me back to You.

(Bridge)

My losses are currency in Your hands

My failures are building Your perfect plans

They think I’m empty, but I’m overflowing

They think I’m lost, but I know where I’m going

If I have nothing else but the breath in my lungs

And the God of the heavens, the victory is won!

Yeah, the victory is won!

(Outro)

They see a breakdown.

I see a breakthrough.

They see a loss.

I see a Lord.

Oh, it's a holy detour...

Right into Your arms.
