So
Much To Thank Him For
Lyrics--
Index:
1) In a little town called Bethlehem, so many years ago
They told Him there was no room in the inn
But they had no way of knowing Who they had turned away
It was the Lamb of God who would take away their sin
Chorus:
I'm glad I know who Jesus is
I'm glad I know who Jesus is
He's more than just a story, He is the King of Glory
And I'm glad I know who Jesus is
2) So many people still today don't know who Jesus is
For they have never felt His peace within their soul
But I want my life to show them how His blood can set them free
He's the only One who can cleanse and make them whole
Chorus
Coda:
He's the Alpha & Omega, the Beginning & the End
He's the Counselor, Deliverer to me
He's the Everlasting Father, He is the King of Glory
And I'm glad I know who Jesus is
Tag: I'm glad I know who Jesus is!
1) A blind man was sitting there by the way
He cried to Jesus for mercy that day
Jesus commanded and gave him his sight
As he followed Jesus, I'm sure he cried,
Chorus:
"Jesus passed by my way, He made me whole that day
Just a sinner was I, but then Jesus passed by
And, oh, what a change in my life,
Since Jesus passed by
2) And just like that blind man, I wandered along
In the darkness of sin, I was always alone
But one day I met Him, and He made things right
And, oh, what a difference, since Jesus passed by.
Chorus
Tag: And, oh, what a change in my life, since Jesus passed by.
1) There are things I can't believe, there are thing I won't receive
For there's no proof they're so
Things I cannot understand, things I cannot comprehend
But this one thing I know
Chorus:
I know He opened up my blinded eyes one day
I know His precious blood washed all my sins away
I know His peace, sweet peace, has filled my troubled soul
Yes, this one thing I know
2) There are things about the Lord that are written in His Word
And all of them are so
It may quickly be discerned, there is much that I must learn
But this one thing I know
Chorus-- 2x
Tag: Yes, this one thing I know (know, know, this one thing I know)
1) On a hill called Calvary, Jesus my Lord suffered for me
Carried the cross all the way, my sins to atone
Then they nailed Him to the cross, great was the pain & the loss
He suffered it all because He loved me
Chorus:
Because He loved me, my Savior died
On the cross was crucified
No greater love by mortal man has ever been known
Oh, praise His dear Name, He loves me so
Now I am His, He's mine, I know
He suffered it all, because He loved me
2) Then they carried Him away, placed Him in a lowly grave
Surely they thought that this would be the end of His time
But on that third & glorious day, God came and rolled the stone away
He rose from the dead, because He loved me
Chorus
Tag: He suffered it all, because He loved me
1) My life has been blessed in so many ways
With family and friends, day after day
But I can't stay here, soon I'll be gone
I just stopped by on my way Home
Chorus:
I just stopped by, on my way Home
I'm just passing through, I can't stay here very long
I must go to be with Jesus, all around God's throne
I just stopped by, on my way Home
2) My heart is set on that Heavenly shore
My mind is set on Jesus my Lord
It seems I can hear that Heavenly song
I just stopped by on my way Home
Chorus-- 2x
Tag: I just stopped by, on my way Home
1) I may not have riches as some others may
But I have a mother who knows how to pray
And maybe there's some things I've missed in my youth
But I have a father who stands for the truth
Chorus:
I have a goodly heritage
I'm blessed with things you can't see
I have a goodly heritage
And that is worth far more to me
2) And if in the future, my parents pass on,
To dwell in that City we've come to call Home
They may not leave me the goods of this world
But I have accepted their God and His Word
Chorus
Tag:
I have everything, all that I need
All that I need, treasures unseen,
And that is worth far more to me
1) Some folks have had more than their share of problems
So many things they cannot understand
But they've been faithful through the years,
And walked on through the tears
They've walked on, holding to an unseen Hand
Chorus:
But one of these days (one of these days,
One of these days, one of these days)
We're going home with Jesus one of these days
One of these days (one of these days,
One of these days, one of these days)
We're going home with Jesus one of these days.
2) The sun will rise just as it did this morning
It will seem to be as any other day
But then a shout will ring out, without a warning
And the children of the Lord are gonna fly away
Chorus
Tag: We're going home with Jesus, we're going home with Jesus
We're going home with Jesus, one of these days (one of these days,
One of these days, one of these days)
1) When I look around and see all the good things He's done for me
I know I'm unworthy of them all
For His blessings He freely gives, I owe my life to Him
I've got so much to thank Him for
Chorus:
And I've got so much to thank Him for, so much to praise Him for,
You see, He has been so good to me
And when I think of what He's done, and where He's brought me from
I've got so much to thank Him for
2) And sometimes, while on this Way, I stop to kneel and say,
"Thank you" for all He's done for me
And when I reach sweet Heaven's shore only just let me kneel once more
I've got so much to thank Him for
Chorus-- 2x
Tag: And when I think of what He's done, and where He's brought me from
I've got so much to thank Him for
In the beginning, God created man,
In His own image, formed with His own Hands
Satan, old Satan, tempted man to fall
God had the perfect sacrifice-- to die once and for all,
To die once and for all
So He sent His Son to die, and, oh the pain He bore
They laid Him in a borrowed tomb, the stone held fast the door
The saints all tell the story that I'm about to tell
About a conversation from the pits of Hell,
From the pits of Hell
Tell me, Death, tell me, oh Death hear my plea
Do you still have Jesus, or did you set Him free?
This is now the first day since they laid Him in the ground
Tell me, oh Death, tell me, can you hold him down?
Can you hold him down?
Satan, oh Satan, Satan hear me well
I promise, oh I promise, that I shall not fail,
That I shall not fail
Tell me, Death, tell me, this is the second day
Do you still have Jesus, or did He get away?
Did He get away?
Satan, oh Satan, hear me now once more
The greatest king and rich men have walked through my dark door
And this Jesus, He's no different, He's just a mortal man
And I make this vow to you, He won't escape my hand,
No, He won't escape my hand
Tell me, Death, tell me, tell me, don't be slow
Do you still have Jesus, or did you let Him go?
He's been dead for three days, the victory has been won
It's time for a celebration, we've overcome God's Son,
We've overcome God's Son (hahahahahaha)
Satan, oh Satan, hear me what I say
This morning, oh this morning, the stone was rolled away
And I couldn't stop him, no, I could not hold him down
With power, oh great power, He rose up from the ground
He rose up from the ground
He has risen, He has risen, and oh, Death, where is Your sting?
He has risen, He has risen, and oh, proclaim Him King of kings!
He has risen, He has risen, and oh, He lives forevermore
He has risen, He has risen, and oh, proclaim Him Lord of lords,
Proclaim Him Lord of lords, He is Lord of lords!
