It Makes Me Want to Say...

1 Peter 1:18-19 English Standard Version (ESV)

18 knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot.

...Thank you.  Thank you for a salvation so rich and free.  I've often sung the chorus to this song, but just learned tonight there are verses.  It makes me want to sing, my husband as well, as he reads over my shoulder while waiting for his turn at the computer.  He's just walked away singing giving me a moment more for this blog.

Thank You, Lord

1 Chronicles 16:34
"O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good;
for his mercy endureth for ever."


Some thank the Lord for friends and home,
For mercies sure and sweet;
But I would praise Him for His grace -
In prayer I would repeat:
Chorus
Thank you, Lord, for saving my soul,
Thank you, Lord, for making me whole;
Thank you, Lord, for giving to me
Thy great salvation so rich and free.
Some thank Him for the flow'rs that grow,
Some for the stars that shine;
My heart is filled with joy and praise
Because I know He's mine.

Chorus
Thank you, Lord, for saving my soul,
Thank you, Lord, for making me whole;
Thank you, Lord, for giving to me
Thy great salvation so rich and free.
I trust in Him from day to day,
I prove His saving grace;
I'll sing this song of praise to Him
Until I see His face.

Chorus
Thank you, Lord, for saving my soul,
Thank you, Lord, for making me whole;
Thank you, Lord, for giving to me
Thy great salvation so rich and free.
