Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was driving home past that old white steeple
Radio low, trying not to cry
Empty ring print on my left-hand finger
Asking heaven what I did this time
Felt so tired of all my own choices
Too worn out to even try again
Then there you were with that coffee and kindness
Laughing like you’d always been my friend
[Chorus]
God knew my heart before I did
Knew every crack, every place it split
Knew I’d give up, say “I’m through”
So He was already planning you
When the road went dark and the light grew dim
You walked in and hope walked in with you
God knew my heart before I did
That’s why He sent me you when life got dim
[Verse 2]
You don’t quote verse, but you live it daily
Singing in the sink on Sunday nights
You kiss my doubts off my worried forehead
Turn my wrong turns into alright
I still ask why He’d waste grace on me
You just smile, squeeze my hand and say
“Maybe all those tears and all those detours
Led you right to me this way” (mm-hmm)
[Chorus]
God knew my heart before I did
Knew every crack, every place it split
Knew I’d give up, say “I’m through”
So He was already planning you
When the road went dark and the light grew dim
You walked in and hope walked in with you
God knew my heart before I did
That’s why He sent me you when life got dim
[Bridge]
One day we’ll be rocking on that front porch swing
Gray in our hair, still thanking Him for everything
If our kids ask how we ever made it through
I’ll say, “I fell apart, then the good Lord sent me you”
[Chorus]
God knew my heart before I did
Knew every crack, every place it split
Knew I’d give up, say “I’m through”
So He was already planning you
When the road went dark and the light grew dim
You walked in and faith walked in with you
God knew my heart before I did
That’s why He sent me you when life got dim
Yeah, God knew my heart before I did
That’s why He sent me you when life got dim
