Lord, I'm Thankful

Lately I've been through some testing and trials,

felt like a detour that went on for miles.

But standing here now looking back I can say,

Lord I'm thankful.

Some storms I thought I would never survive

but here I am feeling so strong and alive.

The darkness is passed and the morning is bright,

and I'm thankful!

Lord, I'm thankful like David after Goliath

like Paul and Silus after the jail,

I'm thankful like Daniel after the lions,

Lord I'm thankful.

Thankful like Noah back on dry ground;

thankful like Lazarus finally unwound.

E-ve-ry beat of my heart wants to pound,

I'm thankful, Lord I'm thankful

I've battled giants of failure and fear,

Shadows of doubt where my hope was unclear.

But along Lord you were hovering near

and I'm thankful

All the sins of my past were a thundering roar

that echoed the guilt that I could not ignore

but it's nailed to a cross and I hear it no more

and I'm thankful!! (Chorus 2x)
