Thank You God

A sweeping prayer of gratitude for everything that shaped a life: front-porch faith, family near and far, the woman he prayed for, the home they built together, and the grace of an empty grave. If he never sang another song, this one says thank you.

Lyrics

Verse 1

I was raised on red letters and front porch prayers,

On a Bible worn thin and a mama who cared,

A Daddy who said, “let faith be your guide,

When the road gets long and your hands feel tied.”

They gave me roots that the wind can’t shake,

A firm foundation no storm could break,

Every step I take, every breath I draw,

Started in their love… and the fear of God.

Pre-Chorus

Yeah, I’ve walked through valleys, seen mountains move,

And every single blessing leads back to You.

Chorus

Thank You God for the life I live,

For the grace I don’t deserve but You still give,

For the doors You open and the ones You close,

For the highs and the heartbreaks that shaped my soul.

For my family, my home, the air in my lungs,

For the battles You fought when I thought I was done,

For mercy new with every rising sun

If I never sing another song…

Thank You God.

Verse 2

For my sister, my first best friend,

Drivin’ cross country, just kids back then,

She’s strength and grace with a mama’s heart,

Still cheering me on since the very start.

For my two little brothers, side by side,

Now husbands, fathers, full of pride,

The men they are, the love they’ve shown

Lord, I see Your fingerprints all over home.

Pre-Chorus

Every laugh, every tear we’ve cried,

Is proof You’ve been right there the whole time.

Chorus

Thank You God for the life I live,

For the grace I don’t deserve but You still give,

For the love that runs in my blood so deep,

For the promises You always keep.

For my family, my home, the air in my lungs,

For the battles You fought when I thought I was done,

For mercy new with every rising sun

If I never sing another song…

Thank You God.

Verse 3

For the woman I prayed for night after night,

Our love story only You could write.

An answered prayer, my steady ground,

The calm in the chaos, when the walls fall down.

She built a home full of warmth and light,

Where love don’t fade when the day turns night,

And the dream we built on the path You’ve shown,

Now a team that feels like a family we’ve grown.

For the miles we’ve flown, the hands we’ve held,

For the broken stories where hope prevailed,

For her whole family that became my own,

And our two hundred pounds of loyal love at home

Bridge (Strip it down. Just piano & vocal.)

You gave Your Son so I could stand,

Carried my cross with nail-scarred hands,

When I was lost, You called my name,

Covered my past in mercy and grace.

Through every doubt, through every fall,

You never once let go at all.

If this is my story, let it be known

I was never walking alone.

Final Chorus (Big, Choir Builds)

Thank You God for the life I live,

For the grace I don’t deserve but You still give,

For salvation’s gift, for the empty grave,

For the faith that carried me all my days.

For my mom and dad, for my wife, my friends,

For the love that holds me to the end,

For every blessing I’m standing on

If this is the last song I sing before I’m gone…

Thank You God.
