A friend told me about this song after my post this morning. I prefer it sung by Garth Brooks (who she knew it as) but I wanted a version with the music and the lyrics.
I don't take the word "chance" in the same sense as "luck" but rather referring to my knowledge and/or ability to control. I don't think our lives are left to chance. I'm not quite sure of the nitty-gritties of my theology on it anymore but I do still believe that God is in control of our lives--however that plays out, whether He directs all events or allows and uses them.
At any rate, it's a beautiful song and it's true. If we could see the future, often we would probably change it, but what else would we rob ourselves of in the meantime?
