Analysis of SO THANK YOU
Barry Green Jr 1973 (Florida)
SO THANK YOU
I've been at the end of it all
Seen life run on with out me
Though I thought I must fall
Yet Lord You lifted me
I've been to the end of the road
So tired I just couldn't go on
You came beside, carried my load
I rose in the Light of the Dawn
So Thank You, with all my heart
Thank You Lord, that I still stand
Thank you for the Grace You impart
Thank You, that I rest within Your Hand
I've seen the fire burn all to ash
Left with nothing, forgotten by all
Each time my world seems to crash
You catch me even as I start to fall
My enemies gather all around
Saying I'm beaten for sure this time
But listen do you hear that mighty sound
My Lord rescues me just in time
So Thank You, with all my heart
Thank You Lord, that I still stand
Thank you for the Grace You impart
Thank You, that I rest within Your Hand
So I know when my Lord lifts His Call
That there will not end my Story
For I'll be praising Him with the saints all
We'll never stop in proclaiming His Glory
I will enter Your Courts with Thanksgiving
I will Praise You as I enter the Gate
Glory to You for the life we are living
Thank you that the endings weren't too late
AMEN
