Lyrics
Up until now, my life has been
met obligations, and the standard frustrations
I had a big dream
but I just stopped trying to pursue it
If things had turned out like I once imagined
I would have been crushed, burned and abandoned
and our glorious Father in Heaven
He already knew it
'cause God has a way of working when we don't expect it
God has a way of knowing how it's all connected
But we, in our blindness
can't see the Father's hand guide us
'cause it's not when we expected
but from heaven's perspective
it's perfect timing
A few long years ago, we set out on a journey
Our souls were aching and our hearts were burning
to make real a dream, that we two become three
so we waited
Weeks turned to months, months into years
it seemed like our blessing might never appear
but then we finally got the good news
and so we celebrated
CHORUS
Now we have our child, and she makes us smile
a thousand times a day
and she's loved with a love, that runs so deep and pure
if we hadn't been put through
the pain and the waiting, the waiting, the waiting
we wouldn't have her, it wouldn't be her
CHORUS
Perfect timing
So thankful the Father has blessed us with this kind of love
