Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You saw my anger

You heard my pain

Pulled out a little chair by yours

Said

"Sit and say their name"

You held the silence

Till I could breathe

You showed me how to bless the hurt

And finally let it leave

[Chorus]

So I give thanks for you today

For the way you showed me a softer way

You taught compassion like a song

Beat in my chest

Keeping me strong

I give thanks for all you’ve done

You walked in truth

You made me run

Toward forgiveness

Toward real love

Thanks for being what you spoke of (yeah)

[Verse 2]

You never shouted

You just stood firm

Turned every hard word into a chance

For my heart to learn

You faced the rumor

You faced the lie

Told me

"Clean eyes

Clean hands

That’s how we rise"

[Chorus]

So I give thanks for you today

For the way you showed me a straighter way

You taught compassion like a song

Beat in my chest

Keeping me strong

I give thanks for all you’ve done

You walked in truth

You made me run

Toward forgiveness

Toward real love

Thanks for being what you spoke of (oh, I’m thankful)

[Bridge]

You said

"Love is work

Love is choice

Love is lifting up the smallest voice"

Now when my heart wants to turn away

I hear your words

And I stay

[Chorus]

So I give thanks for you today

For the way you brightened my every day

You taught compassion like a song

Beat in my chest

Keeping me strong

I give thanks for all you’ve done

You walked in truth

You made me run

Toward forgiveness

Toward real love

Thanks for being what you spoke of

Thanks for being my teacher of love (yeah, my teacher of love)
