(LYRICS)

It wasn’t where I thought we’d meet
Outside of a dorm room on Franklin Street 
With tears in my eyes in the driver's seat
That’s just the place God came for me

It was a still small voice 
On a tuesday night
Like you were right there with me

On the passenger side
You turned that car 
Into a mountain top
I met Jesus in a parking lot

I ran from You for quite a while 
But You called out in love to this wayward child 
You didn’t wait at the altar for me to walk the aisle 
You grabbed my heart right through that radio dial

Oh I saw the light in that dashboard glow
Oh threw my hands in the air when You saved my soul

Happend to me. Outside a shop in Randburg South Afica. Friend left for the sake of the call by Steven Curtis Chapman in my tape player and while listening to it the Lord came for me there while I was sitting alone in my car. 32 years ago and I am still folowing Him❤.

My parents were saved thanks to Christian radio ministry, so I can relate!

[brotherscottt]

I gave a man a poem in a grocery store parking lot, we set and talked about writing a song like this. And this song reminded of that friend I was enriched with that afternoon. Thank God for His great love everywhere, including a parking lot

[sydneyfiler]

A great message and reminder that God will meet us even in the most unexpected of places, no matter where we are physically or spiritually.

I GOT SAVED IN A MCDONALDS PARKING LOT on APRILFOOLS DAY 1978 off Rainbow Blvd by KU Med Ctr in KCMO! Ephesians 2:8, 9 spoke to me. I was 21 an now I m 67. HE HAS BEEN SO FAITHFUL!!

[TerraThesilkwing]

God came to me when I was 6 in a way unexpected that I clearly still remember it

[Metahunt]

I relate to this so much, I was in a parking lot and I heard the lyrics and it was like god was right there telling me “everything is alright.” And I really needed it because I was going through a big problem I had and I’m thankful for this song❤

[watchwoman]

How funny that's how I met him too lol. In front of my house over 20 years ago in my blue areostar van 😂. God turned my van into a traveling gospel van lol🎉

This morning in the parking lot at Elevation Church in Winston Salem NC. What timing Pam and Jeff from Ohio!!

[bryttanycharen]

Ironically, I was about to walk away when I met a guy who wouldnt date me if I wasnt christian, but I feel that God used him to bring me back, because even though we did not last, my relationship with Jesus has

[sharhondajohnson]

First, Yes go Cochren & Co. great song. Parking Lot is a very inspirational uplifting spiritual encouraging song. I love it listening on Thurs.2-2-2023. You Tube Music brought me here.

Still on fire from the Elevate shows this weekend in Scottsdale

[KandyMoorman]

Jesus found me! I was told that you have cancer, dr said go home and make my plans to die! My heart hurt so much I thought know!! You can't tell me that only My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ can tell me when to die and I felt so at ease.... I knew he had a different plan for me! That was 2 years ago, he saved me!! Little OH me, God bless me! I love him so!! AMEN

[trishamarieh.]

Would you please make this song in close caption. I would love to follow your song.

[robinrevty]

What a perfect song the last date to church this guy Sean was framed for murder the church was really close to Franklin square drive

[devondibley]

Can we get one Christian song that doesn’t have the same exact production as every other Christian song? This could be anybody. They’re all exactly the same.

[robinrevty]

I pooped green red and silver should I say a prayer?
