Together

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

Was 27 years old that summer
Just having myself a ball
Working on a record deal
Playing the bars and the concert halls
Making money to just watch it burn
Living day by day
Stayed out late drinking way too much
I didn't act my age
But life turned on a dime
When she said, "You're gonna be a daddy, come winter time"

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
Heaven knows
He's planning on a miracle
Man, I wonder how it's gonna go
The Lord works in a strange way

Man, I never saw the changes coming
They caught me unaware
One day I was wild as a buck
The next I was a teddy bear
Put down the bottle 'bout month before
And I put down the cigarettes
Started holding my wife a little tighter
And saying the prayers I used to forget
Now I look into those baby blue eyes
And I find all the peace I've been searching for
Yeah I finally realized

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 on to a miracle
And I ain't ever letting go
The Lord works in a strange way
I finally made my peace with God
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
Oh, the Lord works in a strange way
