Jesus Is The Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me

I've had my share of life's ups and downs

God's been good to me, and the downs have been few

Well, I guess you can say, God has blessed me

I heard Gladys knight sing this song the other day

But there's never been a time in my life, he didn't bring me through

I changed the words

If anyone should ever write my life story

For whatever reason there might be

You'd be there (you'd be there) between each line (oh, yeah) of pain and glory

And I don't know who Gladys Knight was talking about

But you know what?

Jesus is the best thing that ever happened

Jesus is the best thing, yes, He is, that ever happened

Jesus is the best thing that ever happened to me, hey-hey

If anyone (after I'm gone) should ever write my life story

I want some of you that knew me while I was living

To tell you, to help them to write

For whatever reason there might be

Now if they write my story, please let them put it in one of the chapters

"One day (one day) he was lost" (he was lost) ayy

But Jesus found me, ayy, hallelujah

Jesus is the best thing that ever happened

Can I get a witness here?

(Jesus is the best thing) yeah (yeah) that ever

(That ever) ever (happened)

Jesus is the best thing (ay) that ever happened to me

If anyone should ever write (should ever write) my life story

I wish I had somebody here, help me sing this, yeah

For whatever reason (can you help me sing?) there might be

Thank You Jesus, thank You Jesus, listen

I was on my way to hell, oh, but Jesus reached out, lifted me

Hallelujah

Jesus is the best thing that ever happened

Why don't you help me sing it?

(Jesus is the best thing) yeah, yeah! (That ever happened) yeah, yeah-yeah

(Jesus is the best thing that ever happened to me)

Can I get a witness here? (Yeah) yeah! (Yeah), yeah! (Yeah)

(Jesus is the best thing) why don't you help me sing it?

(That ever happened) He brought me out

(Jesus is the best thing that ever happened) yeah!
