I Didn't See It Coming

I never saw it coming, Lord,

It slipped right up on me,
Though I was watching in good faith
And praying fervently.
 
I didn’t see it coming, Lord,
It took me by surprise.
It wasn’t there and then it was,
All right before my eyes.
 
I watched and yet I missed it still,
It came out of nowhere,
I never saw it coming, Lord,
Until it was right there.
 
You promised me that it would come,
And I waited to see.
Yet still it slipped up on me, Lord,
The blessing You sent me.
 
But I am grateful for the grace
I never saw coming,
And I am learning that surprise
Can be a blessed thing.
