It's Lucky We Met
by Janet Paschal

Album: This Is Janet

She took the seat next to me
And then she took out a book
"Ten Ways to Move Up in Life"
Then she gave me that look
I asked her, "What is your name?"
I asked her, "What do you do?"
She said, "I'm Mary Lynn Jones
But that's 'Mrs. Jones' to you
I got a condo in Paris
Got a house in the Keys
I got a M.B.A., I got a Ph.D."
And then she looked at me all over
Said, "What about you?"
And I couldn't resist
I said, "Well, how do you do?"

"I'm just a fortunate girl
Don't have a thing to my name
Except a whole lot of peace
And a life without shame
I'm just a servant and slave
To a wonderful man
Who came to walk on this earth
So we could all understand
Don't claim a place as my own
'Cause I'm just passing through
And I get my degree
By loving people like you
And it's not accident
Though you can't see it yet
It's good I ran into you
I think it's lucky we met"

I must have said something right
Must have shattered a wall
'Cause she started to cry
And then she started to bawl
She said, "I've been so lost
Do you think we could pray?"
Then the Spirit came down
In a powerful way
And she asked Jesus in
Then she smiled at me
She said, "Maybe you're right
I'm beginning to see
That it wasn't be chance
That I ran into you"
She said, "You're so amazing"
I said, "That isn't true"

"I'm just a fortunate girl
Don't have a thing to my name
Except a whole lot of peace
And a life without shame
I'm just a servant and slave
To a wonderful man
Who came to walk on this earth
So we could all understand
Don't claim a place as my own
'Cause I'm just passing through
And I get my degree
By loving people like you
And it's not accident
Though you can't see it yet
It's good I ran into you
I think it's lucky we met"

"I'm just a fortunate girl
Don't have a thing to my name
Except a whole lot of peace
And a life without shame
I'm just a servant and slave
To a wonderful man
Who came to walk on this earth
So we could all understand
Don't claim a place as my own
'Cause I'm just passing through
And I get my degree
By loving people like you
And it's not accident
Though you can't see it yet
It's good I ran into you
I think it's lucky we met
It's lucky we met"
