Jonathan McReynolds's song 'Not Lucky, I'm Loved' is a contemporary gospel track that reframes success and blessings as gifts from God rather than random chance. The lyrics express gratitude for God's intentional love and sovereign plan, rejecting the idea of luck in favor of recognizing divine favor. McReynolds emphasizes that every good thing comes from the Father's heart, not from fate or coincidence.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Maybe I succeed a little
I jumped up from the floor to the middle
You think I want the credit I don't
Cause the glory, ain't made for me, no
I know who sits on the throne
Who makes the stage and writes the songs
And I know I, couldn't do this on my own
And as much as I complain
I've seen more sunshine than rain

And I could thank, my lucky stars
But that's not where, my blessings are
No they come from, the Father's heart
Not the sky, not chance, but truth is
I'm not lucky, I'm loved
I'm not lucky, I'm loved
I'm not lucky, I'm loved
I'm not lucky, I'm loved

Today I'm in a happy place
And I know it didn't happen by mistake
I love how He wrote my life
And I love how He sees my heart
So I fall to my knees and say that I'm grateful
For every morning start

So I could thank, my lucky stars
But that's not where, my blessings are
No they come from, the Father's heart
Not the sky, not chance, but truth is
I'm not lucky, I'm loved
I'm not lucky, I'm loved
I'm not lucky, I'm loved
I'm not lucky, I'm loved

From the very beginning
This life that I'm living
Was part of Your plan all along

So I don't thank, my lucky stars
Cause that's not where, my blessings are
No they come from, the Father's heart
Not the sky, not chance, but truth is
I'm not lucky, I'm loved
I'm not lucky, I'm loved
I'm not lucky, I'm loved
I'm not lucky, I'm loved

Sing yes, Jesus loves me
Sing yes, Jesus loves me
Sing yes, Jesus loves me
For the bible tells me
I'm not lucky, I'm loved
I'm not lucky, I'm loved
I'm not lucky, I'm loved
I'm not lucky, I'm loved

Come on one more time
Let me hear you sing

Yes, Jesus loves me
Sing yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
For the bible tells me so
It tells me so

See I don't thank, my lucky stars
Cause that's not where, my blessings are
No they come from, the Father's heart
Not the sky, not chance, but truth is
I'm not lucky, I'm loved
