oh what a change
you have made in me
a broken and battered
and bruised story
and you glorified
yourself through me
a walking miracle
that is me.
Jesus, I know you are real
because of what you did in me.

a thankful heart
is what I give
humbly mindful
of what You did
thank you Lord
for all I see
all gifts from you
so generously
given to me

I am a new Creation
fully transformed
the old me is gone
and the new me was formed
you took the pieces
shattered on the floor
and you fully restored them
and then what’s more
you gave me a new heart
and a new mind
you gave me new eyes
i am no longer blind
i can see your light
i can feel you near
and now i have nothing
nothing to fear

a thankful heart
is what I give
humbly mindful
of what You did
thank you Lord
for all I see
all gifts from you
so generously
given to me

thank you Lord
oh joyous day
thank you Jesus
for the truth
the light, the way
thank you Jesus
for my testimony
i joyfully declare
my personal faith story

a thankful heart
is what I give
humbly mindful
of what You did
thank you Lord
for all I see
all gifts from you
so generously
given to me

how do i have the confidence
to expose my sin
the things i’m told to hide
but now within
you conquered it all
that day on the cross
the story is not mine
i count it all as loss
my story is not mine
it is for all to hear
so they can come too
dear Lord, you are here
for the broken and battered
and bruised stories
that is where you display
your heavenly glory.

thank you Lord
thank you eternally
for everything
i give it all back
this is our story.
