Never a Chance Encounter

Lyrics

[Verse 1] A Sunday party, summer night A college boy, eyes shining bright He asked my grade, I told him true Eighth grade, and off that boy flew Two years went by, the pews stood still A sermon lost to a heart's first thrill I told my mama, plain and clear That's the man I'll marry, dear [Chorus] Faith brought us together Hope carried us through Love built every chapter Devotion, me and you Hand in hand we travel Wherever life leads This is our forever This is what we need [Verse 2] Vicksburg days, a small front door We learned to lean and ask for more Then Decatur called us back toward home Three little boys, we weren't alone You worked so hard, you gave your all A quiet tower, steady and tall [Chorus] Faith brought us together Hope carried us through Love built every chapter Devotion, me and you Hand in hand we travel Wherever life leads This is our forever This is what we need [Bridge] Meggan and Jen, and grandsons four Dylan, Luke, Jake, and Deacon at the door They come to you when storms appear Mike Culver, you're the reason near [Verse 3] Fifty-five years, and still I see That handsome boy in front of me No chance encounters, no, not one It was God's own hand, His will be done He wove our story, page by page A perfect plan through every age [Chorus] Faith brought us together Hope carried us through Love built every chapter Devotion, me and you Hand in hand we travel Wherever life leads This is our forever This is what we need [Outro] Yes, Mike Culver, we've been blessed In His hands, our hearts have rest
