Music by J Hall and lyrics by David Hammond
Well I was raised up a yong old Baptist boy / down in the southern states / but I was so young then that it would be a sin / to say that I knew the stakes / yeah to know the price that Jesus paid when He died on Calvary's tree / takes a long, long walk with Jesus and a knowledge of pain.
Well I thank you dear Savior / for all that you mean to me / and I thank you sweet Jesus for all that you said you'd be / and I realize how much you love me now / and for this I thank you too / for without you I'd never make it / yes and that's why - I need you.
We were all in the practice of sin / yes lost to a dying world / while we would try real hard just to get ahead / we found we'd truly lost ground / but then the hope of the world was revealed to us and now we see the light / that there truly is a Creator / and He's the one that gave us life.
Well I thank you dear Savior / for all that you mean to me / and I thank you sweet Jesus for all that you said you'd be / and I realize how much you love me now / and for this I thank you too / for without you I'd never make it / yes and that's why - I need you.
Well I thank you dear Savior / for all that you mean to me / and I thank you sweet Jesus for all that you said you'd be / and I realize how much you love me now / and for this I thank you too / for without you I'd never make it / yes and that's why - I need you.
We were all in the practice of sin / yes lost to a dying world / while we would try real hard just to get ahead / we found we'd truly lost ground / but then the hope of the world was revealed to us and now we see the light / that there truly is a Creator / and He's the one that gave us life.
Well I thank you dear Savior / for all that you mean to me / and I thank you sweet Jesus for all that you said you'd be / and I realize how much you love me now / and for this I thank you too / for without you I'd never make it / yes and that's why - I need you.
