Story Behind The Song
After hurricane Ike, my wife and I found ourselves on the receiving end of a wish we had made earlier in the year...
to have a week off, go camping, and be totally disconnected from outside interferrance from tv and stuff like that. The hurricane shut down electricity in our area for about 10 days, and felled a tree on our house (so we got to basically camp in the woods). It was a very humbling experience and helped us to realize what is really important.

Lyrics
Bigger Plan

VERSE
Steam is risin'
From my coffee cup
Sittin' out on my back porch
Watchin' the sun come up
On the horizon
Golden Light fills the air
Illuminating the beauty
Of what God put there
CHORUS
And I know it isn't all about me
There's more to life than everything I think I need
In my heart I know there's a bigger plan
That tells me I can
Cast my cares away
And just enjoy the day
In front of me
VERSE
Thoughts are stirrin'
Inside my head
Maybe I'll stop thinkin
And do some fishin instead
Time enough to worry
'Bout what's 'round the bend
Shouldn't Start tomorrow
Until this day ends
CHORUS
And I know it isn't all about me
There's more to life than everything I think I need
In my heart I know there's a bigger plan
That tells me I can
Cast my cares away
And just enjoy the day
In front of me
