Serendipity

Lyrics

[INTRODUCTION] [VERSE 1] Everybody’s got a story About the right place, right time A door they never should’ve walked through A star that never should’ve aligned A chance encounter at a coffee shop A phone call in the nick of time A thousand little miracles That somehow changed a life [PRE-CHORUS] They say the universe is working Everything eventually connects Maybe that’s enough for some folks But I know something better than that [CHORUS] They call it serendipity I call it sovereignty You’ve been working all things together Working all things for me What they call coincidence I call amazing grace Everywhere I look, I see Your goodness on display They call it serendipity I call it sovereignty They call it serendipity I call it You [VERSE 2] Looking back across the years now I can see what I couldn’t then The heartbreaks that became blessings The endings that became beginnings Every detour, every delay Every valley, every climb You were writing resurrection Between every line [PRE-CHORUS] Some say it’s random Some say it’s fate But grace has a way of showing up A little too often to explain [CHORUS] They call it serendipity I call it sovereignty You’ve been working all things together Working all things for me What they call coincidence I call amazing grace Everywhere I look, I see Your goodness on display They call it serendipity I call it sovereignty They call it serendipity I call it You [POST-CHORUS] Wouldn’t believe it (But I can show ’em) Wouldn’t believe it (But I can show ’em) Wouldn’t believe it (But I can show ’em) Follow my life And the places I’m goin’ I’ve been through doors That should never have opened Look at the seeds That are suddenly growin’ Wouldn’t believe it But I can show ’em Hey! They don’t know (They don’t know) Do they know? (Do they know?) They call it luck (We call it grace) They call it chance (We know His name) Seeds of faith (They be sproutin’) Look around (They’re breakin’ ground) Reap what you sow (Now the whole crowd’s shoutin’) SERENDIPITY! (Hey!) SERENDIPITY! (Hey!) SERENDIPITY! (Hey!) They call it serendipity I call it You [BRIDGE] When I couldn’t see tomorrow You were already there When I thought the story ended You were answering prayers Every closed door Every breakthrough Every tear I cried alone Every winding road was leading To the place You’d called me home So if anybody asks me How it all came true [FINAL CHORUS] They call it serendipity I call it sovereignty You’ve been working all things together Working all things for me What they call coincidence I call amazing grace Everywhere I look, I see Your goodness on display They call it serendipity I call it sovereignty They call it serendipity I call it You [OUTRO] No, I don’t believe in lucky I’ve seen too much of what You do They call it serendipity I call it You [FALSE ENDING] Lord, You know I couldn’t mistake Your fingerprints all over this place Your mercy written on every page I’ve seen too much to explain away Still You keep showing up again and again And no matter how many times I say “That was God…” They just smile and call it— SERENDIPITY! [CHORUS REPRISE 1] They call it serendipity I call it sovereignty [CHORUS REPRISE 2] They call it serendipity (Crowd: SOVEREIGNTY!) I call it sovereignty [CHORUS REPRISE 3] (Lead) They call it serendipity I call it sovereignty (Gang Vocals) Wouldn’t believe it But I can show ’em (Choir) Working all things together Working all things for me (Crowd) They call it luck We call it grace (Final Crowd) THEY CALL IT SERENDIPITY I CALL IT YOU!
