The Lord works in a strange way,
|
There ain't no doubt,
|
Man he's gonna make a man of me,
|
He's gonna straighten me out somehow.
|
|
I was twenty-seven years old that summer,
|
Just having my self a ball,
|
Working on a record deal,
|
Playing in the bars and concert halls, making money just to watch it burn, living day by day,
|
Stayed out late drinkin' way too much, didn't act my age,
|
But life turned on a dime when she said, you're going to be a daddy come wintertime.
|
|
The Lord works in a strange way,
|
There ain't no doubt,
|
Man he's gonna make a man of me,
|
He's gonna straighten me out somehow.
|
The lord works in a strange way,
|
And Heaven knows,
|
He's planning on a miracle,
|
Man I wonder how it's gonna go,
|
The lord works in a strange way,
|
Oh oh
|
|
Man I never saw the changes comin' they caught me unaware,
|
One day I was as wild as a bull the next I was a teddy bear,
|
Put down the bottle about a month before,
|
And I put down the cigarettes,
|
Started holding my wife a little tighter and sayin' the prayers I used' forget,
|
And now I look into those baby blue eyes and I find all the peace
|
I've been searching for yeah I finally realize
|
|
The lord works in a strange way,
|
There ain't no doubt,
|
Man he's gonna make a man of me,
|
He's gonna straighten me out somehow.
|
The lord works in a strange way,
|
And it stirs my soul I'm holding onto a miracle and I ain't ever letting go
|
The lord works in a strange way.
|
I've finally made my peace with god and I've got sweet comfort in my soul
|
The lord works in a strange way.
|
Man he's gonna make a man of me
|
A man of me
|
|
Ohhh
|
The lord works in a strange way.
|
Ohhh a ohhh
|
The lord works in a strange way
