| It may be a phone call
|
| That comes without warning
|
| And suddenly my heart is breaking
|
| It may be a headline
|
| I wake to one morning
|
| And suddenly my world is shaken
|
| But every now and then
|
| When life falls apart
|
| There’s a truth I trust
|
| That calms my heart
|
| Nothing takes You by surprise
|
| Here beneath these troubled skies
|
| There’s a comfort just to realize
|
| Nothing takes You by surprise
|
| Sometimes the hard times seem
|
| Sensless and random
|
| Like life’s just a sries of chances
|
| But come what may you’ve never
|
| Left us abandoned
|
| You’re God over all circumstances
|
| And nothing on earth
|
| Can stop Your plans
|
| You’re in control
|
| We’re in Your hands
|
| Nothing takes You by surprise
|
| Here beneath these troubled skies
|
| There’s a comfort just to realize
|
| Nothing takes You by surprise
|
| Though bitter winds blow
|
| This truth is sweet
|
| Things out of our hands
|
| Are still under Your feet — and
|
| Nothing takes You by surprise
|
| Here beneath these troubled skies
|
| There’s a comfort just to realize
|
| Nothing takes You by surprise
|
| Nothing takes You by surprise |
| Whatever crisis may arise
|
| Jesus you’re Lord of our lives
|
| Nothing takes You by surprise |
