Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
When the miles are too high for countin'
And the hill's too steep to climb
When the world outside ain't making sense
And the truth's too lost to find
When that line's too blurred for seeing
And my wrongs too wrong to right
When I'm hanging by that final thread
And my strong's too weak to fight
I hear a song, sweet song, singing to my soul
I see a lighthouse in a hurricane and it's leading me back home
When I think about the only things in life that pull me through
I hit my knees and thank the Lord, for Jesus & You
Oh yes I do, oohhh, every day I do, oohhh
One is saving me to heaven
When I leave this world behind
And one gives me just a little taste
When she holds me late at night
They both give grace and it's amazing
They both have healing in their hands
And it ain't easy, but they're both making me a better man
And I hear a song, sweet song, singing to my soul
I see a lighthouse in a hurricane and it's leading me back home
And when I think about the only things in life that pull me through
I hit my knees and thank the Lord, for Jesus & You
Every day I do (oooh)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Every day I do, yeah
Why you've got a ring around your finger
Why he's got scars on his hands
Why you both promised me forever
God, I'll never understand
When I think about the only things in life that pull me through
I hit my knees and thank the Lord, for Jesus & You
I hit my knees and thank the Lord, for Jesus, Jesus & You
Every day I do, every day I do, yeah
So when I think about the only things in life that pull me through
I hit my knees and thank the Lord, for Jesus & You
Oh I hit my knees and thank the Lord, for Jesus & You
