thank you lyrics

there were nights where i was sure i wouldn't see the morning sun
and there were days that seemed so dark
i couldn't wait for night to come
i couldn't stand to think about how my life used to be
and how without a single warning it all slipped away from me

like a fool i thought that i could fight the shadows on my own
to the dark i was no stranger this was stronger than i know
by the time i knew that i was in too deep I'd gone too far

and the light that used to guide me had faded from my heart
and i found myself in places i thought I'd never go
surrounded by strangers i was so far from home
and i don't know how you found me
all i know is i owe everything to you
yes i do

Chorus:
and i thank you for my heart
i thank you for my life
and i thank God for grace and mercy
and that u became my wife
I'm seeing for the first time
the stars, the sun and moon
they've got nothin' on the power of this love i have for you

and i thank you, i thank you

people say they'll stand beside you, swear they'll never leave
when the rain started falling, you know it only fell on me
it was hard to keep believing in myself when all i felt was so much pain
i was so ashamed i couldn't even ask for help
i don't know if i believe in other lives
but when u came there was something so familiar about the way you said my name
and the whole world started turning
and i swear that i'd been born again brand new
and its all because of you

Chorus:
and so i thank you for my heart
i thank you for my life
and i thank God for grace and mercy
and that you became my wife
and I'm seein' for the first time
the stars the sun and moon
they've got nothin' on the power of this love i have for you

and i thank you

ooooo ohhhhh

and I've seen so many things i just can't explain
but the miracle of miracles is how with your love i was saved
and i thank you

i thank you for my life
i thank God for grace and mercy
and that u became my wife
and I'm seein for the first time
the stars the sun and moon
they've got nothin' on the power of all this love i give to you

i thank you for my heart
i thank you for my life
i thank God for grace and mercy
and u became my wife

the day i started breathing was the day u took my hand
and til the day i die baby I'll forever be your man
and i thank you, i thank you
oooo yes i do
oooo don't you know i thank you
