I’ve been going through some thangs
And that’s all right
God has got me in a place
Where weeping tarry’s for the night
I can see the change
even though a little at a time
feel like I should give you praise
Lord I thank you for renewing my mind
Seeking you has taught me much
but all I’ve learned could never be enough
I know your word is true
It’s the only thing that gets me through
You are big and huge none in heaven nor in earth
Can compare to you i’ve come to love you more how Lord I adore you
I can search the whole world and find none like you
Valley low mountain high still not like you
I can search the seven seas still not like you
Lord I believe I believe that there is none like you so I praise like
