I Thank God Lyrics

Verse 1: Aaron Moses

Wandering into the night
Wanting a place to hide
This weary soul
This bag of bones
And I try with all my might
But I just can’t win the fight
I’m slowly drifting
A vagabond

Pre-Chorus: Aaron Moses

And just when I ran out of road
I met a man I didn’t know
And He told me that I was not alone

Chorus: Aaron Moses & Dante Bowe

He picked me up, He turned me around
He placed my feet on solid ground
I thank the Master, I thank the Savior
Because He healed my heart, He changed my name
Forever free, I’m not the same
I thank the Master, I thank the Savior
I thank God

Verse 2: Dante Bowe

I cannot deny what I see
Got no choice but to beliеve
My doubts are burning
Like ashеs in the wind
So, so long to my old friends
Burden and bitterness
You can just keep it moving (Hey), hey
Nah, you ain’t welcome here

Pre-Chorus: Dante Bowe

From now ’til I walk the streets of gold
I’ll sing of how You saved my soul
This wayward son has found his way back home

Chorus: Dante Bowe & Aaron Moses

He picked me up, He turned me around
Placed my feet on solid ground
I thank the Master, I thank the Savior
Because He healed my heart, He changed my name
Forever free, I’m not the same
I thank the Master, I thank the Savior
Oh, I thank God

Post-Chorus: Maryanne J. George

Oh, I thank God
Oh, I thank God
Oh, I thank God

Bridge: Maryanne J. George, Dante Bowe & Aaron Moses

Oh, Hell lost another one, I am free (Oh, yeah)
I am free (Yeah), I am free
Hell lost another one, I am free (I am free)
I am free (Oh, I am free), I am free (Oh, I am free)
Hell lost another one, oh, I am free (Oh)
I am free, yes, I am free (Oh, I’ve never been so free before)
Hell lost another one, I am free (Oh)
I am free (Oh), I am free (Yes)
Hell lost another one, I am free (Oh)
I am free, oh, I am free (Oh)
Hell lost another one, I am free (Oh)
I am free (Yes), I am free (Hell lost another one)
Hell lost another one, I am free
Oh, I am free, oh, I am free
Oh, Hell lost another one, I am free (Oh)
I am free, oh

Chorus: Dante Bowe, Aaron Moses, & Maryanne J. George

He picked me up, He turned me around
He placed my feet on solid ground
I thank the Master, I thank the Savior
Because He healed my heart, He changed my name
Forever free, I am not the same
I thank the Master, I thank the Savior
I thank God
