I want to take this time, to say thank you
I don't know where I would be if it wasn't for you
Your grace and mercy is what kept me
It was those two that brought me through

I want to take this time to say thank you (oh yes I do)
I don't know where I would be, if it wasn't for you
Your grace and mercy is what kept me
It was those two that brought me through

I want to take this time to, to say thank you
I don't know where I would be, oh if it wasn't for love!
Your grace and mercy, hey! It brought me this far
And it was, it was those two that brought me through yeah, yeah!

Your grace and mercy (your, your, your grace and mercy)
Found me when I could not see (when I could not see)
Soothed all my doubt (soothed all my doubt)
Calmed all my fears (calmed all my fears)
Because of your grace I am still here ('cause of your grace!)

I want to take this time, to say thank you (I wanna take the time)
