Thank You Lord

On May 30th, my firstborn turned 18. On June 3rd, she graduated from high school. We celebrated this milestone with a party surrounding her with all the family and friends who love her so.

During a portion of the program, she and her sister performed a hula to the song, Thank You Lord. It was beautiful and brought tears to my eyes ... seeing the dance, my daughters, and the message in the lyrics of the song.

Lauren, I'm so proud of you. And I pray that you'll always remain close to the Lord. Continue to cultivate a heart of gratitude for who He is and all that He's done for you. And I pray this love overflows from your life into the lives of those around you. You have been, and continue to be, such a blessing to me.

Thank You Lord

Thank You Lord for saving my life
I promise I’ll praise Your name
For You held me up when I couldn’t stand
Through You my life has a plan

For You gave Your life for me that day
Upon that rock on Calvary
I can’t imagine and still deny
You are the way, the truth, and the life

So I thank You lord
For seeing me through
Those times when my eyes couldn’t see
Even when I fell , You still loved me
Where in the world would I be

Maybe lost and lonely in the cold
Hoping for someone to hold
I can’t imagine and still deny
You are the way, the truth, and the life

So I thank You lord
For hearing my prayer
And giving me all that I need
I will try my best and do all I can
Because I know only you understand

You have blessed my life and helped me through
All of those times when I needed You
I can’t imagine and still deny
You are the way, the truth, and the life

And so I thank You lord
For saving my life
I promise I’ll praise Your name
For You held me up
When I couldn’t stand
Jesus now I understand
Jesus now I understand
Yes Jesus, You are the man
Yes Jesus, You are the man
