I can see how good you been to me
(Lord you been good)
You brought me over hills and mountains
(Thank you Jesus)
And I am so thankful?
Yes I am (yes I am)
You see I just wanted to let you know
'Cause if it hadn't been for you

On my side
I never could have made it through those times
You made a way (oh yea)
(Yes you did)
You brought me through
(You brought me through)

You heard my prayer
