Thanks Be To Our God

(album: When The Stars Burn Down - 2011)

For the road that leads from darkness into light
For the hope that rescues us from endless night
For the grace that covers sin at the door where life begins
For salvation reaching in to guide us through, thanks be to our God

For the healing that no mortal can explain
For deliverance that breaks the sinner's chains
For the strength to carry on and forgiveness great and strong
And the promise of Your mercies ever new, thanks be to our God

Hallelujah, everlasting songs will rise
For all You've done, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Thanks be to our God

For the emptiness that cries out to be filled
For the promise that Your word is deeper still
For the longing and the need to have more of You in me
Because nothing satisfies the way You do, thanks be to our God

Hallelujah, everlasting songs will rise
For all You've done, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Thanks be to our God

For the mysterious beyond the veil of death
For the peace that opens with our closing breath
When our struggles pass away and we finally see Your face
And a greater glory rises into view, thanks be to our God

Hallelujah, everlasting songs will rise
For all You've done, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Thanks be to our God

Hallelujah, everlasting songs will rise
For all You've done, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Thanks be to our God, thanks be to our God

Hallelujah, everlasting songs will rise
For all You've done, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Thanks be to our God
