Meant To Be (Steven Curtis Chapman, for Veggie Tales "It's A Meaningful Life" DVD)

Long before you drew your first breath,

A dream was comin' true.

God wanted to give a gift to the world,

So He wrapped it up in you.

And ev'ry step that you've taken,

Ev'ry move that you make

Is part of His plan.

You were meant to be touching the lives you touch,

And meant to be here making this world so much more than it would be

Without you in it.

You were meant to be bringing the gifts you bring,

Singin' the songs you were given to sing.

You are perfectly, wonderfully, beautifully meant to be.

(Yeah)

You were meant to be.

Long before you took your first fall,

You stumbled to the ground.

God started telling the story of you

To the angels gathered around.

Ev'ry failure and vict'ry,

And ev'rything in between.

It's all in His hand.

You were meant to be touching the lives you touch,

And meant to be here making this world so much more than it would be

Without you in it.

You were meant to be bringing the gifts you bring,

Singin' the songs you were given to sing.

You are perfectly, wonderfully, beautifully meant to be.

(Yeah)

You were meant to be.

You are, you are, you are meant to be.

You are, you are, you are meant to be.

For every breath that you're taking,

And every move that you make;

It's a meaningful life you've been given,

So live it well.

You were meant to be touching the lives you touch,

And meant to be here making this world so much more than it would be

Without you in it.

You were meant to be bringing the gifts you bring,

Singin' the songs you were given to sing.

You are perfectly, wonderfully, beautifully meant to be.

(Yeah)

You were meant to be.

To be.

You were meant to be.
