I know what mercy feels like,
His love endures forever,
I know the harsh consequences of sin,
His love endures forever,
When I wandered in my desert of depression,
Thanks be to God, for he is good,
My fearful sleepless nights of restless anxiety,
Thanks be to God, for he is good.
Everything was taken from me,
His love endures forever,
Dignity was lost in the endless insults,
His love endures forever,
I worried day and night about everything,
Thanks be to God, for he is good,
Hatred sought to destroy me,
Thanks be to God for he is good.
Then salvation came to my life,
His love endures forever,
Saved from the darkest of nights,
His love endures forever,
All of my pain held with kind compassion,
Thanks be to God for he is good,
Promises made in my youth honoured by trust,
Thanks be to God for he is good.
Praise is the song of eternity,
His love endures forever,
I live the blessed life promised by Grace,
Thanks be to God for he is good.
