Dear God

(album: Live - 2009)

It feels so good to make it this far
And I didn't think I could take it so long
There were days I wanted to quit
I said surely this is it
But I held on
And I watched as so called friends turn and walk away
It hurt so much I didn't have words to say
But even when my day turns to night and nothing seems just right
Lord I thank you for, for my life

For my life, Lord I thank you
For every victory in You I've seen
And all the moments I know it was You who kept me
So I thank You for, for my life

And I watched You take my family from there to here
And when times were a little rough, God I knew You were near
And the moments I thought I'd fail I was reminded of your nails
So I held on
And if I never live to see another day
There is nothing I would change or take away

I've had so many ups
That they far outweigh my downs
Lord I thank You for my life

For my life, Lord I thank you
For every victory in You I've seen
And all the moments I know it was You who kept me
So I thank You for, for my life

I realized some didn't make it...
I could've been one of the ones who lost my way
And there were times Lord I know I almost went crazy
But I'm still here, with my life

For my life, Lord I thank you
For every victory in You I've seen
And all the moments I know it was You who kept me
So I thank You for, for my life

It may not be all that I hoped for
And every dream has not yet been realized
And to see your face one day God
I know it's all gonna be worth it

So I thank You
Thank You for every mountain, every valley, God everything You brought me through
Thank You!
I know, I know it was You
I just want to take the time to say thank You Jesus for my life
