Lyrics
Verse 1
You alone can hold
This heart and all my hope
You're the author and the architect
Of flesh and bone
My future and my past
This life and all my plans
I'm surrendered on the altar
Light the flame again
Chorus
Whatever your plan is
You will make a way for it
Whatever Your will is
Come and do it here
Verse 2
I trust that you will know
Where my feet should go
And I never have to second guess
The word You spoke
And if I've lost Your path
And strayed from what You said
I'm surrendered on the altar
Light the flame again
Bridge
Every corner of my heart
Take your place in every part
Have Your way
Your ways have never failed me once
Though it costs me everything
I'll still follow where You lead
Have Your way
Your ways have never failed me once

Meaning & Inspiration
“Whatever Your Plan Is” is a prayer of surrender that places the singer’s past, future, hopes, and plans under God’s direction. God is described as both author and architect, language that acknowledges his authority over the whole life. The altar image gives that surrender a cost: the heart is offered rather than merely consulted, and the request to “light the flame again” asks for renewed devotion.
The chorus trusts that God can make a way for his will, while the second verse admits the possibility of wandering from the path he has spoken. Proverbs 3:5-6 closely matches that posture of trusting God rather than relying on personal understanding and allowing him to direct the path. Romans 12:1 also helps illuminate the altar imagery by describing faithful life as a living sacrifice. The bridge broadens the prayer to every corner of the heart, accepting obedience even when it costs everything. Its focus remains not on certainty about circumstances, but on confidence in God’s guidance and faithfulness.
