Your light shows me the way
In spite of what I say
Your grace carries me on through
In lieu of all the things I do
[Pre Chorus:]
And when I fall asleep and
I�??m behind the wheel of life
And I�??m slippin�?? like a tongue-tied liar
You show up and wake me up
[Chorus:]
Hey God thanks for everything
Thank You Father
I�??m glad that You bother
Hey God thanks for everything
I�??m glad that You bother to love a man like me
Midnight seemed as the day
As my eyes were closed to the way
I reached out but the air it was so thin
I couldn�??t breath
I was smothered by my sin
But then like art in a frame You drew me
And erased all of the shame
That consumed me
And just in the nick of time
You showed up to wake me up
