Verse 1]
Dear God, You say I’m chosen
And that everything happens for a reason
You saw my steps long before
I ever knew my name or my season
I’ve stumbled, I’ve cried, I’ve bled
But I’ve never been forsaken
You held me through every trial
Even when my faith was shaken
[Pre-Chorus]
So I lift my hands in surrender
Even when my soul feels tired
‘Cause I know You’re the fire
That lights the way through the night
[Chorus]
I’m grateful for life, even in the pain
I praise You for sunshine and I praise You in the rain
For every gift You gave and every lesson learned
For the bridges I crossed and the ones I burned
Lord, shut the doors that aren’t for me
Open the ones that lead to destiny
Plant my feet on solid ground
Let Your purpose in me be found
[Verse 2]
Dear God, I won’t pretend
That I always understand Your ways
But I trust Your heart, I trust Your plan
Through the dark and brighter days
Place the right ones in my circle
Take the wrong ones out with grace
Build me, mold me, use me
Let me run this holy race
[Pre-Chorus]
So I’ll keep walking by Your light
Even when the road gets rough
’Cause I know Your love’s enough
To carry me through the fight
[Chorus]
I’m grateful for life, even in the pain
I praise You for sunshine and I praise You in the rain
For every gift You gave and every lesson learned
For the bridges I crossed and the ones I burned
Lord, shut the doors that aren’t for me
Open the ones that lead to destiny
Plant my feet on solid ground
Let Your purpose in me be found
[Bridge]
I’m tired, Lord, but I won’t give in
Breathe new strength and let me rise again
Speak to me, guide my every move
Let me walk in the mission You called me to
[Final Chorus]
I’m grateful for life, even in the pain
I’ll praise You for sunshine and I’ll praise You in the rain
For every gift You gave and every lesson learned
For the love I found and the fire that burned
Lord, shut the doors that aren’t for me
Open the ones that set me free
Plant my feet where I need to be
To fulfill the purpose You placed in me
[Outro]
Dear God, I’m Yours… completely Yours
Forever Yours…
