Lyrics

[Chorus] 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 [Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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
