Thank You Lord

Thank you Lord

Thinking back upon my life
When days were ever so bleak
When nothing seemed to turn out right
I was desperate and so weak

Then you came along and helped me out
You pulled me out of the fire
And I thank you…Oh Lord
For saving my life

There were times in my life
The world had beaten me down
I never seemed to catch a break
But, you’d always come around

You’d always be there to lend a hand
You pulled me out of the mire
And I thank you…Oh Lord
I’ll give you my life

Chorus
I want to thank you Lord,
For always being there 
Through the bad times and the good
I want to thank you Lord,
For all you’ve given me
It’s undeserved… it’s understood


Through all my tragedies
You showed you cared for me
Through my mistakes and maladies
You saw the good in me

You’ve been with me through all my trials
In my time of need
You carried me the final mile
You are a friend in deed

You’d always be there to lend a hand
You pulled me out of the mire
And I’ll thank you…Oh Lord
All through my life

Chorus
I want to thank you Lord,
For always being there 
Through the bad times and the good
I want to thank you Lord,
For all you’ve given me
It’s undeserved… it’s understood

And I’ll thank you…Oh Lord
All through my life
And I’ll thank you…Oh Lord
All through my life
