The sun's gonna shine every mornin' The moon's gonna glow at day's end River's gonna flow to the ocean Tide's goin' out and comin' in Snow's gonna fall in the winter Cover up the life of the land But it returns in the springtime It's all out of our hands But it's all in God's plan It's all in God's plan Mama's gotta wait on the baby Baby's gotta wait for his time Daddy's gotta wait and go crazy But it all works out just fine Man's gotta have him a woman Woman's gotta have her a man Love is the strangest emotion It's all out of our hands But it's all in God's plan It's all in God's plan Granddaddy holds a new baby A newborn child of his son His family's gathered around him His time for leavin' has come One's born and one goes to heaven It's so hard to understand Dyin' is just a part of livin' It's all out of our hands But it's all in God's plan It's all in God's plan It's all in God's plan
