I Thank God by Maverick City Music

MaverickCityMusic

Wandering into the night
Wanting a place to hide
This weary soul
This bag of bones
And I try with all my might
But I just can't win the fight
I'm slowly drifting
A vagabond

And just when I ran out of road
I met a man I didn't know
And He told me that I was not alone

He picked me up, He turned me around
He placed my feet on solid ground
I thank the Master, I thank the Savior
Because He healed my heart, He changed my name
Forever free, I'm not the same
I thank the Master, I thank the Savior
I thank God

I cannot deny what I see
Got no choice but to believe
My doubts are burning
Like ashes in the wind
So, so long to my old friends
Burden and bitterness
You can just keep it moving! (Hey, hey)
Nah, you ain't welcome here

From now 'til I walk the streets of gold
I'll sing of how You saved my soul
This wayward son has found his way back home

He picked me up, He turned me around
Placed my feet on solid ground
I thank the Master, I thank the Savior
Because He healed my heart, He changed my name
Forever free, I'm not the same
I thank the Master, I thank the Savior
Oh, I thank God

Oh, I thank God
Oh, I thank God
Oh, I thank God

Oh, Hell lost another one, I am free (Oh, yeah)
I am free (Yeah), I am free
Hell lost another one, I am free (I am free)
I am free (Oh, I am free), I am free (Oh, I am free)
Hell lost another one, oh, I am free (Oh)
I am free, yes, I am free (Oh, I've never been so free before)
Hell lost another one, I am free (Oh)
I am free (Oh), I am free (Yes)
Hell lost another one, I am free (Oh)
I am free, oh, I am free (Oh)
Hell lost another one, I am free (Oh)
I am free (Yes), I am free (Hell lost another one)
Hell lost another one, I am free
Oh, I am free, oh, I am free
Oh, Hell lost another one, I am free (Oh)
I am free, oh

He picked me up, He turned me around
He placed my feet on solid ground
I thank the Master, I thank the Savior
Because He healed my heart, He changed my name
Forever free, I am not the same
I thank the Master, I thank the Savior
I thank God

And if He did it for me, He can do it for you
If He did it for me, He can do it for you
Get up, get up, get up
Get up outta that grave
Get up, get up, get up

Get up, get up, get up

If He did it for me, He can do it for you
If He did it for me, He can do it for you
If He did it for me, He can do it for you

The testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of prophecy
That means what He did for another, He can do it again
That means what He did for another, He can do it again
The testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of prophecy

That means what He did for another, He can do it again
That means what He did for another, He can do it
So we prophecy

Because He healed my heart, He changed my name
Forever free, I'm not the same
I thank the Master, I thank the Savior
I thank God

Graves Into Gardens by Elevation Worship

Elevation Worship

I searched the worldBut it couldn't fill meMan's empty praiseAnd treasures that fadeAre never enough

Then You came alongAnd put me back togetherAnd every desireIs now satisfiedHere in Your love (hey)

Oh, there's nothing better than YouThere's nothing better than YouLord, there's nothingNothing is better than You

I'm not afraidTo show You my weaknessMy failures and flawsLord, You've seen 'em allAnd You still call me friend

'Cause the God of the mountainIs the God of the valleyThere's not a placeYour mercy and graceWon't find me again

Oh, there's nothing better than YouThere's nothing better than YouLord, there's nothingNothing is better than You

You turn mourning to dancingYou give beauty for ashesYou turn shame into gloryYou're the only one who can

You turn graves into gardenYou turn bones into armiesYou turn seas into highwaysYou're the only one who canYou're the only one who can

Oh, there's nothing better than YouThere's nothing better than YouLord, there's nothingNothing is better than You

You turn graves into gardensYou turn bones into armiesYou turn seas into highwaysYou're the only one who can

You turn graves into gardensYou turn bones into armiesYou turn seas into highwaysYou're the only one who canYou're the only one who canYou're the only one who can
