Story Behind the Song
My motivation for writing this song was to tell the world how good God has been to me and how He has changed and enriched my life.
Lyrics
“I’m Thankful That I’m Blessed”
I’ve had my ups and downs,
And I’ve been down and out,
But God has always lifted me back up.
I’ve failed a lot of times,
But I do realize,
God’s strength has always pulled me back up.
Sometimes I lose my way,
And I forget to pray
God’s mercy has always forgiven me.
God has blessed me so,
More than I’ll ever know
God’s love has always surrounded me. That’s why…
Chorus
I’m thankful that I’m blessed,
I’m thankful that I’m blessed,
Dear Lord I want to tell you,
I’m thankful that I’m blessed.
I’m thankful that I’m blessed,
I’m thankful that I’m blessed,
I want to tell the world,
I’m thankful that I’m blessed.
For me my strength and health,
Is better than all wealth.
God’s wisdom has helped me to grow.
To my family and friends,
Great blessings He does send.
God’s love surrounds everyone I know.
He has protected me,
From the world’s treachery.
God’s knowledge has taught me to survive.
When I ran out of hope,
He taught me how to cope.
God’s generosity taught me to thrive. That’s why…
Repeat Chorus
For all He’s given me, I want other’s to see,
That He can help them too, to live life anew.
If you want a fresh start, just open up your heart,
And let Him dwell within, without Him you can’t win. That’s why…
Repeat Chorus
