Thank You, Lord

Intro

*(soft trumpet swells, slow and mournful, like tears falling)*

Verse

Down in the valley, where the river ran cold

I was drownin' in sorrow, losin' my hold

Waves crashin' over, pullin' me under

No light in the darkness, thunder and wonder

Chorus

Thank you, Lord (thank you), for savin' my life

Pullin' me from the edge (from the edge), with your merciful light

I'm playin' this trumpet, tears on my face

Cryin' out hallelujah (hallelujah), in this holy place

Thank you, Jesus (thank you), oh yes I do

Saved this old sinner, made my heart new

Verse

Fever was ragin', doctors shook their heads

Bedside vigil, whisperin' prayers instead

One breath from glory, knockin' at heaven's door

You reached down your hand, brought me back once more

Chorus

Thank you, Lord (thank you), for savin' my life

Pullin' me from the edge (from the edge), with your merciful light

I'm playin' this trumpet, tears on my face

Cryin' out hallelujah (hallelujah), in this holy place

Thank you, Jesus (thank you), oh yes I do

Saved this old sinner, made my heart new

Break

*(trumpet solo – wailing, bending notes, raw and weepy, building slow)*

Bridge

Oh, the grace that found me (found me)

When I couldn't stand

Your love like a trumpet call (call)

Across this broken land

Mm-hmm, yes Lord (yes Lord)

Chorus

Thank you, Lord (thank you, thank you), for savin' my life

Pullin' me from the edge (from the edge), with your merciful light

I'm playin' this trumpet, tears streamin' down

Cryin' out hallelujah (hallelujah, yeah), wearin' your crown

Thank you, Jesus (thank you), oh yes I do (yes I do)

Saved this old sinner, made my heart true

Outro

Thank you... (thank you, Lord)

For savin' me... (oh, savin' me)

*(trumpet fades, soft and lingering, like a final sigh)*
