Heard this song yet?

This is Martina McBride's newest song, God's Will. Gets me all misty-eyed everytime I hear it. Hits pretty close to home. In my mind I change out the "he was a boy without a father and his mother's miracle" to just the opposite for our family.


I met God's Will on a Halloween night
He was dressed as a bag of leaves
It hid the braces on his legs at first

His smile was as bright as the August sun
When he looked at me
As he struggled down the driveway, it almost
Made me hurt

Will don't walk too good
Will don't talk too good
He won't do the things that the other kids do,
In our neighborhood

[Chorus:]
I've been searchin', wonderin', thinkin'
Lost and lookin' all my life
I've been wounded, jaded, loved and hated
I've wrestled wrong and right
He was a boy without a father
And his mother's miracle
I've been readin', writin', prayin', fightin'
I guess I would be still
Yeah, that was until
I knew God's Will

Will's mom had to work two jobs
We'd watch him when she had to work late
And we'd all laugh like I hadn't laughed
Since I don't know when

Hey Jude was his favorite song
At dinner he'd ask to pray
And then he'd pray for everybody in the world but him

[Chorus]

Before they moved to California
His mother said, they didn't think he'd live
And she said each day that I have him, well it's just
another gift
And I never got to tell her, that the boy
Showed me the truth
In crayon red, on notebook paper, he'd written
Me and God love you

I've been searchin', prayin', wounded, jaded
I guess I would be still
Yeah that was until...
I met God's Will on a Halloween night
He was dressed as a bag of leaves

I LOVE this song....I started listening to Country music about 18 months ago....I was going through a lot & I think the sentimental aspects really got to me...but this one is great ! I still get teary everytime I hear it (which is at least once a day)

The words themsleves as you listed are great, but anyone who hasn't heard it...try to find it.....

I love that song. The first time I heard it we were watching the CMA and my daughter couldn't figure out why I was teary.
