Story Behind the Song
This is a very basic rock tune. The music leader of the church I go to (Four Square Church off of 421 in Greensboro, NC) commented that we needed something to "jump", and I wrote this that very night. Being a very basic tune, without a lot of frills, it recorded very easily, and plays very well in front of an audience.
Lyrics
Jesus, I want to thank you for blessing me
Jesus, I'm looking forward to eternity
I'm praying to be heard,
Help me spread the word,
You've shown yourself to me
Jesus, I've heard what you have said
Jesus, He who risen from the dead
I know that all is true
The story's about you
I'm thankful that I see
Jesus, I'm thankful for the word, it's true
Jesus, I'm telling every one about you
Shepherd of the lamb
I know you understand
That's why you forgave me
Halleluja, hallelujah!
Jesus, I want to thank you for blessing me
Jesus, I'm looking forward to eternity
I'm praying to be heard
Help me spread the word
You've shown yourself to me
Jesus, I've heard what you have said
Jesus, He who risen from the dead
I know all that is true
The stories about you
I'm thankful that I see
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah,Hallelujah,
Hallelujah!
Jesus, I'm thankful for the word it's true
Jesus, I'm telling everyone about you
Jesus, I want to thank you for blessing me
Jesus, I'm looking forward to eternity
