Thank You For Saving Me



Thank You For Saving Me
Author: Mark V. Markov

In life it's hard
Sometimes
Passing through
This mortal time

I lock the doors
And leave the world behind
All I got to say
My Lord
Is these seven words tonight

Lord God thank You for saving me
Thank You for saving me
For being my eyes
When I couldn't see
For giving me breath
When I couldn't breathe

Lord God thank You for saving me
Thank You for saving me
When I couldn't fly
You gave me wings
You gave me breath
When I couldn't breathe

I always knew
I had a dream
Lord God and that dream is You
Cross my heart
I wear no disguise
When I try,
When I believe
When I look into Your life
The sky is different blue

Lord God thank You for saving me
Thank You for saving me
For being my eyes
When I couldn't see
For giving me breath
When I couldn't breathe

Lord God thank You for saving me
Thank You for saving me
When I couldn't fly
You gave me wings
You gave me breath
When I couldn't breathe

You pick me up
When I fall down
If I was drowning You would
Part the sea
On the cross
You died and rose again
To rescue me

Lord God thank You for saving me
Thank You for saving me
For being my eyes
When I couldn't see
For giving me breath
When I couldn't breathe

Lord God thank You for saving me
Thank You for saving me
When I couldn't fly
You gave me wings
You gave me breath
When I couldn't breathe

I lock the doors
And leave the world behind
All I got to say
My Lord
Is these seven words tonight

Lord God thank You for saving me
Thank You for saving me
For being my eyes
When I couldn't see
For giving me breath
When I couldn't breathe

Lord God thank You for saving me
Thank You for saving me
When I couldn't fly
You gave me wings
You gave me breath
When I couldn't breathe...
