For seeing me through, for healing my wounds

For healing my depression, for opening doors

Lord I thank You,

So many could have loved to be here tonight 

but You chose me

But you got me through God

You kept me through my sickness

You kept me through my thick and thin 


I?m grateful for loving me, I?m grateful for choosing me, thank You for everything You?ve done

Kea leboha Nkosi, kea leboha simakade 

Thank you for my health

Thank You, thank You, Thank You...
