My Journey to God

Thank You

You called me.
I heard, I came.
You taught me to listen,
You showed me how to give.
Now more than ever,
I want to live.

Thank you, Lord.
Your grace rains down.
You’ve taught me to love,
To call on You in need,
To trust in Your love,
So I can live.

I thank You
For family and friends,
For teaching me to love,
To receive and give.
Now more than ever,
I’ve learned to live.
