[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
C
The night that I met her, I was far from home
F Am7
But I found a little home in her eyes
C
I didn't know if I'd ever see her again
F C
But I knew she'd changed my life
[Verse 2]
F C
God's just the type that would cancel a flight
F Am7
So, forever wouldn't get away
F C Am7
I guess it's true what they say about Him
F C
How He works in mysterious ways
[Chorus]
F G
I try to make the plans
C
But He makes the path
F G
Never makes sense
Am
'Til you see it in the past
F G
Eyes wide open
Am
And I didn't even know it
F G C
I was looking at a God moment
F G C
If it was all up to me, who knows what I'd miss
F G Am
Trying to figure out which way I should pick
F G C Am
So, I just let go and wait until He's showing me
F G C
One of those God moments
F G C F C
Yeah, one of those God moments
[Verse 2]
F C
Pawn-shop guitar that Dad bought use
F C
But he brought it home new to me
F C
I didn't ask for it, didn't know how to play
F C
And he'd never even heard me sing
F
Until I had it in my hands
C
Those songs and a band
F C
Weren't even a thought in my head
F C
I guess God knew what was coming down the road
F C
And He just hadn't shown me yet
N.C.
It makes you wonder what's coming up next
[Chorus]
F G
I try to make the plans
C
But He makes the path
F G
Never makes sense
Am
'Til you see it in the past
F G
Eyes wide open
Am
And I didn't even know it
F G C
I was looking at a God moment
F G C
If it was all up to me, who knows what I'd miss
F G Am
Trying to figure out which way I should pick
F G C Am
So, I just let go and wait until He's showing me
F G C
One of those God moments
F G C
Yeah, one of those God moments
[Guitar Solo]
F G C F G Am F G C Am
F G C
[Verse 3]
C
It didn't take a vision or a near-death night
F Am
For me to know who He was
F C
Just a summer camp sermon on 3:16
F C
And for me, I'd heard enough
F C
I've seen it time and time again
C
I'm always worried how it ends
F Am
But He ain't ever failed me yet
F C Am
Hell, I know, no mater how it goes
F G C
It's always for the best
[Chorus]
F G
I try to make the plans
C
But He makes the path
F G
Never makes sense
Am
'Til you see it in the past
F G
Eyes wide open
Am
And I didn't even know it
F G C
I was looking at a God moment
F G C
If it was all up to me, who knows what I'd miss
F G Am
Trying to figure out which way I should pick
F G C Am
So, I just let go and wait until He's showing me
F G C
One of those God moments

One of those God moments
