When I was a little boy about the age of three,
I began to wonder who I was and what I’d be.
And then when I had grown a bit, about the age of seven,
I sent up a simple prayer so I would go to heaven.
CHORUS:
Well, God was working on His perfect plan,
And he’s got a lot of work to do.
He don’t have to show it,
And we don’t have to know it.
But God’s got a plan for me and you.
Then my daddy sat me down in 1983,
He said “Boy, you better start to think ‘bout your eternity.”
“Before I start to work on that, I’ve got some things to do.”
So I can I borrow twenty bucks, and I’ll get back to you?”
CHORUS
And then I’m in a suit and tie and doing my career.
And thinking I would rule the world, and I was getting there.
But I could never buy my way to my own happiness.
And I figured that was all there was and that was it, I guessed.
CHORUS
But then I Saw the Light and His Love Lifted Me,
Amazing Grace. How Great Thou Art, A Closer Walk With Thee
And now I start to see His hand in every little thing
And with all my heart I’m praising God with every song I sing.
Yeah, God’s been working on His perfect plan,
Though we may not always agree.
He don’t have to show it,
And we don’t have to know it.
But God’s got a plan for you and me.
CHORUS
