It’s Lucky We Met

Description

IT’S LUCKY WE MET

SHE TOOK THE SEAT NEXT TO ME
AND THEN SHE TOOK OUT A BOOK
“TEN WAYS TO MOVE UP IN LIFE”
THEN SHE GAVE ME THAT LOOK.
I ASKED HER, “WHAT IS YOUR NAME?”
I ASKED HER, “WHAT DO YOU DO?”
SHE SAID, “I’M MARY LYNN JONES
BUT THAT’S ‘MS. JONES’ TO YOU
I GOT A CONDO IN PARIS, GOT A HOUSE IN THE KEYS
I GOT A MBA I GOT A PHD.”
AND THEN SHE LOOKED ME ALL OVER, SAID, “SO, WHAT ABOUT YOU?”
AND I COULDN’T RESIST, I SAID,
“WELL, HOW DO YOU DO?”

CHORUS
I’M JUST A FORTUNATE GIRL,
DON’T HAVE A THING TO MY NAME
EXCEPT A WHOLE LOT OF PEACE AND A LIFE WITHOUT SHAME
“IM JUST A SERVANT AND SLAVE TO A WONDERFUL MAN
WHO CAME TO WALK ON THIS EARTH
SO WE COULD ALL UNDERSTAND
DON’T CLAIM A PLACE AS MY OWN
CAUSE I’M JUST PASSING THROUGH
AND I GET MY DEGREE BY LOVING PEOPLE LIKE YOU
AND IT’S NO ACCIDENT
THOUGH YOU CAN’T SEE IT YET
IT’S GOOD I RAN INTO YOU
I THINK IT’S LUCKY WE MET

I MUST HAVE SAID SOMETHING RIGHT,
MUST HAVE SHATTERED A WALL
BECAUSE SHE STARTED TO CRY AND THEN SHE STARTED TO BAWL
SHE SAID, “I’VE BEEN SO LOST,
DO YOU THINK WE COULD PRAY?”
THEN THE SPIRIT CAME DOWN IN A POWERFUL WAY
AND SHE ASKED JESUS IN, THEN SHE SMILED AT ME
AND SAID,
“MAYBE YOU’RE RIGHT I’M BEGINNING TO SEE
THAT IT WASN’T BY CHANCE THAT I RAN INTO YOU”
SHE SAID, “YOU’RE SO AMAZING”
I SAID, “THAT ISN’T TRUE”

CHORUS
