“The Unexpected”

V1.
It’s not my style to have a plan
Living in the moment when I can
Make it up as I go, 
knowing it’s not perfected.

Living it up, and taking it in.
Then I’m shifting on the fly again
And always thanking God 
for the unexpected

Chorus 1:
It’s a call from a friend right out of the blue
With just the perfect thing to do.
It’s a sunrise when you thought you’d sleep in
And the things you may never do again

It’s snuggling up close, it’s hugs from behind
It’s taking a breath and catching a sign
It’s taking the chance, placing the bet
And all the stuff I never will forget.

Opportunities seized for things 
I might not have selected
Because you can’t schedule up the unexpected.

V2.
So I’m saying yes and going with the flow
Being open to options I didn’t know
And living the life I never knew 
that I was destined.

I’ll take that shot when the odds are thin.
Just go all out and go all in
And thank the Lord 
for the unexpected.

Chorus 2:
It’s hearing the words I love you 
For the very first time.
It’s the faith and hope
Knowing God will provide.

It’s a surprise wedding proposal
From a twist of fate
A night that changed your life
All from a blind date

It’s hearing your child’s voice 
When they probably could have just texted
The best moments in life come 
from the unexpected

Chorus 1:
It’s a call from a friend right out of the blue
With just the perfect thing to do.
It’s a sunrise when you thought you’d sleep in
And the things you may never do again

It’s snuggling up close, it’s hugs from behind
It’s taking a breath and catching a sign
It’s taking the chance, placing the bet
And all the stuff I never will forget.

Opportunities seized for things 
I might not have selected
Because you just can’t schedule up
 the unexpected.
