We began this journey together
A long, long time ago
Often I failed to follow You
Down my own path I would go
But You never let me go too far
Before You’d call me back again
You were always there with open arms
No matter where I’d gone or been
Chorus
Lord, for all the things
I have to thank You for
There is not one of them
That could ever mean more
Through all those wasted years
You never lost faith in me
You never lost sight of Your plan
Somehow You always believed
That I could be the one
You created me to be
So thank You, Lord
Yes, thank You, Lord
For never givin’ up on me
Even though I’ve known Your name
Long as I’ve known my own
You gave me the decision
To choose which way to go
Lord, I know I’ve been so blessed
More ways than I could ever name
‘Cause no matter how often I veered
You loved me just the same
