Lyrics

It took me a year to write this song. I don’t know why it takes me so long sometimes. Sometimes I’ll write whatever idea’s I have and then I’ll bounce from different ideas from time to time, shelve some and then come back others that spoke to me. I wanted to literally Thank God for all that He’s done in my life. Especially while I’ve been out on disability and in dealing with my disease, He’s never left me, He’s always encouraged me and gave me strength and showed me that there is more work for me to do for His kingdom but that will also fulfill my own hearts desire. This song is my “Thank You Card” to God for allowing things to happen the way they did so that I could write this album. Maia wrote the music and I love how jazz-y it feels.

Verse
Praise the Lord, I've been blessed
From the one and only God
Who has given me a life so rich and free
Well, Once, I was lost
But now, oh Lord I'm found
Because of what You did at Calvary

Chorus
I wanna thank You
Thank you
Holy Father
I wanna thank you
For what You've done for me
I wanna praise You For Your mercy and Your glory
I wanna praise You
For all Your majesty

Verse
Christ Jesus, You're the One
Who washed my sins away
For Your love and forgiveness Has done something to me
I wanna praise you for your mercy
And Your grace abundantly
For You have saved my soul
And made me see

​Chorus x3
