Great Expectations Lyrics

The morning finds me here at heaven's door
A place I've been so many times before
Familiar thoughts and phrases start to flow
And carry me to places that I know so well
But dare I go where I don't understand
And do I dare remember where I am
I stand before the great eternal throne
The one that God Himself is seated on
And I, I've been invited as a son
Oh I, I've been invited to come and ...

[CHORUS]
Believe the unbelievable
Receive the inconceivable
And see beyond my wildest imagination
Lord, I come with great expectations

So wake the hope that slumbers in my soul
Stir the fire inside and make it glow
I'm trusting in a love that has no end
The Savior of this world has called me friend
And I, I've been invited with the Son
Oh I, I've been invited to come and ...

We've been invited with the Son
And we've been invited to come and ...

[CHORUS]
Believe the unbelievable
Receive the inconceivable
And see beyond our wildest imagination
Lord, we come with great expectations

The morning finds me here at heaven's door 
A place I've been so many times before 
Familiar thoughts and phrases start to flow 
And carry me to places that I know so well 
But dare I go where I don't understand 
And do I dare remember where I am 
I stand before the great eternal throne 
The one that God Himself is seated on 
And I, I've been invited as a son 
Oh I, I've been invited to come and ...

[CHORUS] 
Believe the unbelievable 
Receive the inconceivable 
And see beyond my wildest imagination 
Lord, I come with great expectations

So wake the hope that slumbers in my soul 
Stir the fire inside and make it glow 
I'm trusting in a love that has no end 
The Savior of this world has called me friend 
And I, I've been invited with the Son 
Oh I, I've been invited to come and ...

We've been invited with the Son 
And we've been invited to come and ...

[CHORUS] 
Believe the unbelievable 
Receive the inconceivable 
And see beyond our wildest imagination 
Lord, we come with great expectations

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
