I love because you loved me first
Everything I have is what you’ve given me
I know you’re working for my good
And I wanna thank you
I say thank you
I throw my hands high
In sweet surrender
Knowing you are faithful
I find my freedom
As I surrender
Trusting you forever
Amazing love that never ends
Even when I fail, Your mercy’s limitless
I know I’m living in your grace
And I wanna thank you
I say thank you
I just won’t stop shouting your praise
I just won’t stop shouting your praise
I just won’t stop shouting your praise
I just won’t stop
