THINGS DON'T JUST HAPPEN, THEY'RE PLANNED
I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS!
TO THOSE I LOVE AND THOSE WHO LOVE ME
When I am gone, release me, let me go, I have so many things to see and do. Things don't just happen, they're planned.
You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears, Be happy that we had so many years.
Things don't just happen, they're planned.
To us who love God, To us who have taken our stand. Things don't just happen, they're planned.
I gave you my love, you can only guess, how much you gave to me in happiness. I thank you for the Jove you each have shown, but now ifs time I traveled on alone, for, Things don't just happen, they're planned.
