Forever Grateful
Judy Welden · Other Songs - Judy Welden
Lord, everywhere I look I see the sun shine
And I finally found that joy is mine
From doubt I'm cured; what blessings my reward
Since I've learned to trust in you, dear Lord
Your gifts I treasure; Love and perfect peace
In you I find forgiveness and sin's release
(CHORUS)
And I'll be forever grateful
For all you've been to me
You've given me wisdom; now I can see
I want to keep on growing and show others too
Lord, I'll be forever grateful to you
Once I had to have the very best Lord
Then was blessed and found I needed less
For you alone, dear Savior, have now shown
That you are not impressed with what I own
Thank you for giving me my brand new start
Lord, thank you for this feeling way down in my heart
(CHORUS)
Thanks to you I can forget the sad years
You took away the heartaches and the tears
You saw me through, my Savior, you always knew
I would make it if I would believe in you; And I do..
(CHORUS)
I want to keep on growing and show others too
Lord, I'll be forever grateful to you
