God of the desert and dry land
God of paradise
You see the joy and the trial
And all of the reasons why
In highs and lows I testify
All my life
I will raise
Songs of thanks
To you Father
To bless Your heart when it beats or breaks
Either way I surrender
It's all a gift
Praise the giver
You took the bread of remembrance
Broke it for everyone
Lifted the cup of deliverance
Poured out in perfect love
Finished high upon the cross
All my life
I will raise
Songs of thanks
To you Father
To bless Your heart when it beats or breaks
Either way I surrender
It's all a gift
Praise the giver
All my life
I will raise
Songs of thanks
To you Father
To bless Your heart when it beats or breaks
Either way I surrender
It's all a gift
Praise the giver
Cause You gave Your only son
To take my sin and shame
Worthy is the lamb who was slain
Who gives and takes
You give and take
You gave Your only son
To take my sin and shame
Worthy is the lamb who was slain
Who gives and takes away
All my life
I will raise
Songs of thanks
To you Father
To bless Your heart when it beats or breaks
Either way I surrender
It's all a gift
Praise the giver
All my life
I will raise
Songs of thanks
To you Father
To bless Your heart when it beats or breaks
Either way I surrender
It's all a gift
Praise the giver
Christ has died and is risen
Christ will come again
This is my confession
When the world is shifting sand
On the solid rock I stand
