God began to give me this song in 1996. I remember working on the lyrics while delivering pizza for "Godfathers" (one of my many day/night jobs). As I drove from house to house, I would scribble down lyric ideas. It took a while to figure out the bridge ("All my sorrows are before you"...). The bridge is always the toughest, but so rewarding once you've crossed it.

Lyrics

I've been blessed all my - life God's given me so much joy - at times I must confess - I haven't done my best to thank the Lord for all He's done for me

Chorus: I'm gonna give You all of the praise - from now till the end of my days - all that I have is Yours...You have set my mind at ease - need you to walk by my side - need you to take all my pride - oh won't You fill me up...with Your grace that flows from a heart of love

V2 - Looking back I can see - all the times You were there - watching over me - waiting patiently...I was so blind and unaware
Chorus
Bridge - All sorrows are before You - and my past I leave behind - now that I can see - Your love sets me free - I want it constantly...for now and alway
