Story Behind the Song
In September 2000 I was very ill physically. While in the hospital, the doctors with me refused give up hope that I would survive. God's grace and mercy was enough to bring me through the whole ordeal. From that experience I learned that I must give thanks. Even for the simple things that we often take for granted.
Lyrics
Verse1
For every morning that I rise, for every breath that I take, For every blink of my eyes and every step that I make; I wanna thank you Lord for making it happen each day. So I’ll take this time to say to You thank you for your grace.
Chorus
It was your grace and mercy, that brought me safely this far, I’m a living testimony and I wanna thank you Lord Every time my heart beats it’s blessing you give to me So I wanna say, thank you, thank you , Thank you LORD!
Verse 2
Thank you Lord for all you’ve done for me;
Through your grace and mercy I’ve been set free.
Each and every day that I live I got to give you thanks So I’ll take this time to say to You thank you for your grace.
Chorus
It was your grace and mercy, that brought me safely this far, I’m a living testimony and I wanna thank you Lord Every time my heart beats it’s blessing you give to me so I wanna say, thank you, thank you , Thank you LORD
Bridge
If I had ten thousand tongues, and praised you with every one I would not be enough to thank you for your love; But I’ll use what I have, to lift up your name To tell a dying world for them you’ll do the very same.
