The Lord Works in a Strange Way

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 27 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, I. 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 buck 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
Ohh
The Lord works in a strange way
Ohh-a-ohh
The Lord works in a strange way
