Smokie Norful - Dear God Lyrics

[Verse 1:]
It feels so good to make it this far
And I didn't think I could take it so long
There were days I wanted to quit
I said surely this is it
But I held on
And I watched as so called friends turn and walk away
It hurt so much I didn't have words to say
But even when my day turns to nite and nothin seems just rite
Lord I thank u for, for my life

[Chorus:]
For my life, lord I thank u
For every victory in u I've seen
And all the moments I know it was u who kept me
So I thank u for, for my life

[Verse 2:]
And I watched you take my family from there to here
And when times where a lil ruff god I know u were near
And the moments I thot I fail I was reminded of your nails
So I held on
And if I never live to see another day
There is nothing I would change or take away

I've had so many ups
That they far out way my downs
Lord I thank u for my life
[bac up top to chorus]

[Verse 3:]
I realized some didn't make it...
I could've been one of the ones who lost my way
And there was times lord I know I almost went crazy
But I'm still here, with my life

[bac up top]

Itr may not be all that I hope for
And every dream has not yet been realized
And to see your face one day god
I know it's all gonna be worht it

Yeaeaaa!
Yeaaaa!

[Verse 4:]
So I thank u
Thank u for every mt. every valley god every thing u brought me thru
Thank u!
I know I know it was u
Jus wanna take the time to say thank u jesus for my life
