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

A year and 3 weeks ago, Scott and I were sitting in my parents living room. Scott started the conversation as "So, you know how the Lord works in mysterious ways...?"
Yeah, seriously?
My dad is the worship leader at my church. We have been involved in the church for umpteen years... Of course they know God works in crazy ways that you never expect.
That was one of them. We were telling them I was pregnant out of wedlock. FANTASTIC! We had been engaged 10 months by that point. Only 2 months until the wedding. My mom told me her first thought was "Umm, OK we can do this." Her second thought was "OMG! THE DRESS!"
I have to admit, I was scared telling my parents, but they have been my biggest supporters through my pregnancy and these past 5 amazing months!!

Back to the song. I got my iPhone a few weeks ago and wanted to add some music. I searched Corey Smith (amazing) and came across this song I haven't heard from him. So I previewed it and laughed until I almost fell out of the chair! I had Scott read the lyrics and listen to the song and I had him rolling. The most ironic thing about this song is not only the chorus, but also I told him I was pregnant in March due in October. And he was 27 years old. But he wasn't working on his record deal... :)

Love it! <3
