Smaller Plans Songtext
von Lawson Bates

Billy Thompson had a fastball
That took his team all the way to state
And on the day he graduated
He signed with the Oakland A′s
But when a dump truck blew a tyre
And crashed right into Billy's dreams
He didn′t get to play pro ball
These days, he coaches middle league

Sometimes, God has smaller plans
And we can't see those things that He can
We're all part of something bigger than we can understand
Sometimes, God has smaller plans


Jenny Taylor went to Harvard where she got her Ph.D.
And that diploma that she earned brought so much opportunity
And heaven knows what made her do it
But she turned all that money down
To start a free family clinic right back in her hometown

Sometimes, God has smaller plans
And we can′t see those things that He can
We′re all part of something bigger than we can understand
Sometimes, God has smaller plans

On a white December morning, at the children's Christmas play
Jenny squeezes Billy′s hand as their little angel walks on stage
And says, "This world wanted a mighty king
But they didn't have a choice
The good Lord saved all of us with His tiny baby boy"

Sometimes, God has smaller plans
And we can′t see those things that He can
We're all part of something bigger than we can understand
Sometimes, God has smaller plans

We′re all part of something bigger than we can understand
Sometimes, God has smaller plans
