Thank You ft. MJeezy Lyrics

I often stop and think

The chain of events that were hard to link

Times that got my heart to drop and sink

Switched to blessings 'for I got to blink

If a grand designer didn't exist then

Tell me who invented this world, made it spin and

Got me to this moment, I'd never know it

But all struggles and happy memories are interwoven

I was raised in health

Embraced some wealth, and foolishly start to praise myself

Like it wasn't a blessing

Like every hard day wasn't a lesson, instead of distressing

I should've thanked the Lord, who made me strong

And stopped the second guessing , this is my confession

I was deaf to the message

I hope I'm smart enough now to thank him every second

Thank you, Lord. I'm grateful, Lord

I'm a sinful soul and I'm not sure what you save me for

I can't ignore all the times before

You came to my aid and everything that you helped me for

Every time I fall and try to end it all

You'd lift me and you'd grace me with the wherewithal

All the pain I saw, I couldn't take no more

You'd help me up and you'd make sure that I stand up tall

Dear Lord, I thank you. I know I've been ungrateful

I know I've been unfaithful. Soul's dark and hateful

Although I grew up playful, I've been served a plateful

Drove me quite unstable. Made me quite disdainful

Dear Lord, I lost my smile. Can't find it for a while

I've been going through some trials. Tribulations have been vile

I've been drowning in denial. Like savages in the wild

Red cobras and crocodiles, they've been preying on your child

Dear Lord, I've been blessed. I've been put to the test

I've been working through the stress. Praying more and hurting less

I've been put through the ringer. Been surrounded by some stingers

They slither and they linger like diamonds around a finger

Dear Lord. Let me sing your praise. I'm blinded by your grace

Although my soul is at bay, I've been working on my faith

Dear Lord, I pray; You cleanse my sins away

You look past my mistakes, and you make them all pay

Thank you, Lord. I'm grateful, Lord

I'm a sinful soul and I'm not sure what you save me for

I can't ignore all the times before

You came to my aid and everything that you helped me for

Every time I fall and try to end it all

You'd lift me and you'd grace me with the wherewithal

All the pain I saw, I couldn't take no more

You'd help me up and you'd make sure that I stand up tall
