Lyrics

THANK GOD FOR IT ALL
Mark E. Adams-Westin©2011& 2019

Life, it’s a gift. I feel it fill my lungs.
From my first breath of the morning ‘til my last when day is done.
If I hold it just that moment I can feel that I’m a part
Of this gift that God keeps giving me with each beating of my heart.

Thank God for the big gifts. Thank God for the small.
Thank God for the winter, spring, summer, and fall.
Whether Life lifts me up or Life lets me fall
Thank God for it all, thank God for it all.

Each breath, each note, each silence creates my symphony.
The rhythm of my heart beats this drum inside of me.
Though I may not be master, it’s still my song to play.
Come let me play this song for you, it might just change your day.

Thank God for the big songs, thank God for the small.
Thank God for the singers, made to sing them all.
When a song lifts you up or just holds you when you fall,
Thank God for them all, thank God for them all.

Bridge
Life can lay its gift just beyond my reach,
But I can still be thankful and let that moment teach.
Whether Life lifts me up or life lets me fall,
Thank God for it all, thank God for it all.

Dirge:
I sang my friend to sleep, then we sent her soul to rest,
She could not save this life she loved though she had tried her best.
I placed a dozen roses on the grave where she’d been laid,
I thought I heard a whisper and here is what she said.

Thank God for the nighttime. Thank God for the day.
Thank God through your troubles, then thank God when they fade away.
When life lifts you up, then when life lets you fall,
Thank God for it all.

Thank God for the night-time, thank God for the day,
Thank God through your troubles, then thank God when they fade away.
When life lifts you up, then when life lets you fall…
Thank God for it all, thank God for it all, yes, thank God for it all.
