Dear God - Smokie Norful

It feels so good to make it this far

And I didn’t think I could take it so long

There were days I wanted to quit

I said surely this is it but I held on

And I watched as so called friends turn and walk away

It hurt so much I didn’t have words to say

But even when my day turns to night and nothin' seems just right

Lord, I thank You for, for my life

For my life, Lord, I thank You

For every victory in You I’ve seen

And all the moments I know it was You who kept me

So I thank You for, for my life

And I watched you take my family from there to here

And when times where a lil' rough, God, I know You were near

And the moments I thought I’d fail, I was reminded of your nails

So I held on

And if I never live to see another day

There is nothin' I would change or take away

I’ve had so many ups that they far outweigh my downs

Lord, I thank You for my life

For my life, Lord, I thank You

For every victory in You I’ve seen

And all the moments I know it was You who kept me

So I thank You for, for my life

I realized some didn’t make it

I could’ve been one of the ones who lost my way

And there was times, Lord, I knew I almost went crazy

But I’m still here with my life

For my life, Lord, I thank You

For every victory in You I’ve seen

And all the moments I know it was You who kept me

So I thank You for, for my life

It may not be all that I hope for

And every dream has not yet been realized

And to see Your face one day, God

I know it’s all gonna be worth it

Yeah, yeah

So I thank You, thank You for every mountain, every valley

God, everythin' You brought me through, thank You

I know, I know it was You

Just wanna take the time to say thank You Jesus, for my life
