This Place
Tamela Mann Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never knew the sun could shine all day
Never thought I'd live beyond my past
Until I found Jesus, I never thought I'd be in this place
Oh I'm glad, so glad, I'm living my life in this place
Never knew my heart could feel again
Never knew the pain would let me stand
Till I found Jesus, I never thought I'd be in this place
Oh I'm glad I'm living my life in this place
There's a place in God where we can all be free
A place where God can get the best out of me
There's a secret place in God where He covers me
Never knew my heart could feel again
Never knew the pain would let me stand
Never thought my tears could go away
Till I found Jesus, I never thought I'd be in this place
Oh I'm glad I'm living my life in this place
Oh I'm glad I'm living my life in this place
Oh I'm glad I'm living my life in this place
Been a lot places seen a lot of faces
But I never been in this place
Time and time again never thought I'd win
But I never been in this place
This place, this place
This place, this place
This place, this place
Oh I'm glad I'm living my life in this place
Yes I'm glad I'm living my life in this place

Feb/March of 2017 I was diagnosed with urinary tract infection, stomach ulcer, kidney stones and shingles all at once. Thought I wasn't gonna make it. But God...my pastor and church family prayed for me. All I can say I'm still here and I'm glad I'm living my life in the place of God.
