[Verse 1]
There's plenty of food on the table
Lots of love in the house
The children all do what they're able to do
There's so much to be happy about
I got a woman standing beside me
She really knows how to stand by her man
She's strong and she's soft and she's honest to me
She really helps me to be a good man
[Chorus]
But nothing is perfect in God's perfect plan
Look in the shadows to see
He only gave us the good things so we'd understand
How lifе without them would be
[Verse 2]
Plenty of whеat on the prairie
There's still lots of coal in the mine
We got soldiers so strong they can bury their dead
And still not go back shooting blind
There's women and men on the workforce
Doing forty hours plus overtime
So the hostages held at the airport
Can come home to something worthwhile
[Chorus]
Nothing is perfect in God's perfect plan
Only look in the shadows to see
He only gave us the good things so we'd understand
What life without them would be
[Outro]
But nothing is perfect in God's perfect plan
He only gave us the good things so we'd understand
No, nothing is perfect in God's perfect plan
He only gave us the good things so we'd understand
Nothing is perfect in God's perfect plan
