Thank You Jesus for being my Friend

I've got a story that I must tell, but I don't tell stories very well - So I wrote you a song to tell you how I feel - it's from my heart, it's all so real.

I once lived a life in search of a throne. I looked for a purpose and peace of my own. I was just busy just being my me - my worldly goals would set me free.

I was just a creature of chance just a bumpin' along. My God was so right and I was so wrong. My guilt was so big, my fear was so strong.

Oh Thank You Lord for delivering me. Like a baby new born you set me free. You gave me new life. You gave me Yourself. You took me in spite of my sin-love self.

Lord I want to Thank You for bein' my Friend. You washed away my every sin. You made me white, as white as snow. When I was half, You made me whole.

Oh Thank You Lord for proving to me - You always love me unconditionally. You exchanged Your Throne to make this known - Your Glory made low for my selfish soul.

Thank You God, I now understand - the Price You paid for becoming a man. You willingly died on a cross of wood, yet made the hill on which it stood.

Oh Thank You again my Victorious Friend - You made my heart all over again. I'm more than saved and I'm more than safe - I'm now in the center of a powerful place.

Oh Thank You Lord for our intimacy - our fellowship now motivates me. In sin I'm out of character now - my nature is new - to Jesus I bow.

So Thank You Jesus I sing to Thee. I love You and You love me. Salvation Truth is mine today. You truely are the Only Way.

And thank you my friend for just a listenin' in. May your songs too share His Glory in you.

And so I sing my story end. Thank You Jesus for being my Friend.
