There´s plenty of food
on the table
Lots of love in the house
The children all do what

they´re able to do
We got 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.
But nothing is perfect
in God´s perfect plan
Look in the shadow to see
He only gave us the good things
so we´d understand
What life without them would be.
There´s plenty of wheat
on the prairies
Lots of coal in the mines

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.
But nothing is perfect
in God´s perfect plan
Look in the shadow to see
He only gave us the good things
so we´d understand
What life without them would be.

And there´s plenty of food
on the table
Lots of love in the house
The children all do
what they´re able to do
We got 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
It  really helps me
to be a good man.
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.
