Lyrics

THE LIFE THEY NEVER PLANNED
An unexpected beginning
In such an unpredicted way
From that first date in his old Plymouth
To thirty-nine years today
She’s Indiana red, he’s Kentucky blue
But they go together
Like sweet tea and comfort food

He’s taller by a foot
She’s sweeter by a country mile
When he laughs at his own jokes
It always makes her smile
Eight houses, four churches
Two daughters, three grandsons
Some days weren’t easy
But they’ve weathered every one

CHORUS:
Through every storm and every season
They haven’t always known the reason
But they’ve held on to God’s unchanging hand
In every chapter of their story
They’ve given God the glory
And thanked Him for
The life they never planned

Watchin’ Survivor by the fire
On a cold winter’s night
When they’re wrapped up in each other’s arms
Everything’s alright
Flowers for the craft fairs
26 Christmas trees
Serving friends and neighbors
Wherever Jesus leads

She says he’s stubborn to a fault
Acts all big and tough
But when she calls him Thomas
He knows he better straighten up
Countless answered prayers
Along every twist and bend
Ask him, “how many years ya been married”
He’ll say… “all of them”

CHORUS:
Through every storm and every season
They haven’t always known the reason
But they’ve held on to God’s unchanging hand
In every chapter of their story
They’ve given God the glory
And thanked Him for
The life they never planned

Sometimes the questions keep you guessing
When the doctor started counting months
They kept counting their blessings

CHORUS:
Through every storm and every season
They haven’t always known the reason
But they’ve held on to God’s unchanging hand
In every chapter of their story
They’ve given God the glory
And thanked Him for
The life they never planned
