Nothing Surprises God

And Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I am a virgin?” And the angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy—the Son of God.

Luke 1:34-35

Imagine how surprised Mary was to learn she was to be with child
When Joseph heard, he was extremely shocked and his reaction was anything but mild

But God had a plan and God had a way
He sees the path that is trod
Even with life's twists and turns, nothing surprises God

When there was no room in the inn and Mary was to give birth
They must have been shocked that the Son of God would be born among animals and dirt

But God had a plan and God had a way
He sees the path that is trod
Even with life's twists and turns, nothing surprises God

God sees who you are and where you've been and who you're meant to be
He came to this earth to be with us because He so loves you and me

There are times we get surprised or shocked by the happenings of life
We worry and all the stress can cause fear, frustration, and strife

Put your hope in God who will see you through what may be a bumpy ride
And just like with Mary, you'll learn as you go, knowing He never leaves your side

He sees you, loves you, cares for you - which is why His Son He did send
Let Him walk with you and be your Guide, your Peace, and Faithful Friend

God has a plan and God has a way
He sees your path that is trod
Even with life's twists and turns, nothing surprises God!
