Oh, oh what He's done for me
I'm singing oh, oh, oh
Oh what He's done for me
Just thinking of His goodness to meAnd all He's done so I can be free
It makes me wanna lift my hands and shout
He's been good, so-oh good
He broke the chains that had me bound
He picked me up and turned me around
Can't help but sing about the joy I found
He's been good, so-oh good.
Oh, oh what He's done for me
I'm singing oh, oh, oh
Oh what He's done for me
He broke the chains that had me bound,
He picked me up and turned me around.
Can't help but sing about the joy I found
He's been good, so-oh good.
He gave me strength when I was need
Encouraged me so I could succeed
He opened doors that were closed you see
He's been good, so-oh good
Oh, oh what He's done for me
I'm singing oh, oh, oh
Oh what He's done for meOh what He's done
Oh what He's done for me
