[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
