To My Surprise

There was time when I was looking for something real hard

I’m not quite sure what it was, but I think…

I think it was peace with God

What I longed for were bluer skies

Somethin’ to fill the emptiness deep inside

Just when my life seemed to unravel again

I knew I was fallin’ I needed a friend

I wasn’t lookin’ for a love so real

I never thought I could reach the sky

Then when I least expected a reason why

To my surprise

I better stay focused on what’s gonna last

The Lamb of God erased the sins of my past

If I just lock into Jesus each day

He promised to help me and carry the weight

And now that I know he paid for my sin

I’m washed in his blood, this new life begins

I wasn’t lookin’ for a love so real

I never thought I could reach the sky

Then when I least expected a reason why

To my surprise

No, I never expected to know the most high

To lose the weight of my sins so I could fly so high

I wasn’t lookin’ for a love so real

I never thought I could reach the sky

Then when I least expected a reason why

To my surprise

I wasn’t lookin’ for a love so real

I never thought I could reach the sky

Then when I least expected a reason why

To my surprise

You opened my eyes

Oh what a surprise

You opened, you opened, you opened my eyes

To my surprise
