Intro
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
PIANO:
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'D KNOWN
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 YOU BECAME MY WIFE
I'M SEEING FOR THE FIRST TIME
THE SUN, THE STARS, AND MOON
BUT THEY'VE GOT NOTHING ON THE POWER
OF THIS LOVE I HAVE FOR YOU
AND I THANK YOU, I THANK YOU
NOW PEOPLE SAY THEY'LL STAND BESIDE YOU
THEY'LL 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 AND GUILT AND SHAME
I COULDN'T EVEN ASK FOR HELP
I DON'T KNOW IF I BELIEVE IN OTHER LIVES
BUT WHEN YOU CAME
THERE WAS SOMETHING SO FAMILIAR
ABOUT THE WAY YOU SAID MY NAME
AND THE WHOLE WORLD STARTED TURNING
AND I SWEAR THAT I'VE BEEN BORN AGAIN
BRAND NEW
AND IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF YOU
Chorus
AND 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
I'M SEEING FOR THE FIRST TIME
THE SUN, THE STARS, AND MOON
BUT THEY'VE GOT NOTHING ON THE POWER
OF THIS LOVE I HAVE FOR YOU
AND I THANK YOU, OOOH, OOOH-OH
AND I'VE SEEN SO MANY THINGS
THAT I JUST CAN'T EXPLAIN
BUT THE MIRACLE OF MIRACLES IS HOW
WITH YOUR LOVE I WAS SAVED
Chorus
NO CHORDS UNTIL...
I'M SEEING FOR THE FIRST TIME
THE SUN, THE STARS, AND MOON
BUT THEY'VE GOT NOTHING ON THE POWER
OF ALL THIS LOVE I GIVE TO YOU
AND I THANK YOU FOR MY HEART
I THANK YOU FOR MY LIFE
I THANK GOD FOR GRACE AND MERCY
THAT YOU BECAME MY WIFE
THE DAY I STARTED BREATHING
IS THE DAY YOU TOOK MY HAND
AND UNTIL THE DAY I DIE
BABY I'LL FOREVER BE YOUR MAN
AND I THANK YOU, I THANK YOU
