Thanks Be To Our God
Travis Cottrell's "Thanks Be to Our God" is a worship song expressing gratitude for God's salvation, grace, healing, and deliverance. The lyrics recount how God guides believers from darkness to light, forgives sins, and provides strength and peace. It also looks forward to eternal life, where believers will see God's face and experience greater glory. The repeated refrain of "Hallelujah" and "Thanks be to our God" emphasizes a heart of thanksgiving and praise. The song encourages listeners to trust in God's promises and respond with gratitude for His enduring mercies.
For the road that leads from darkness into light
For the hope that rescues us from endless night
For the grace that covers sin at the door where life begins
For salvation reaching in to guide us through, thanks be to our God
For the healing that no mortal can explain
For deliverance that breaks the sinner's chains
For the strength to carry on and forgiveness great and strong
And the promise of Your mercies ever new, thanks be to our God
Hallelujah, everlasting songs will rise
For all You've done, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Thanks be to our God
For the emptiness that cries out to be filled
For the promise that Your word is deeper still
For the longing and the need to have more of You in me
Because nothing satisfies the way You do, thanks be to our God
Hallelujah, everlasting songs will rise
For all You've done, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Thanks be to our God
For the mysterious beyond the veil of death
For the peace that opens with our closing breath
When our struggles pass away and we finally see Your face
And a greater glory rises into view, thanks be to our God
Hallelujah, everlasting songs will rise
For all You've done, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Thanks be to our God
Hallelujah, everlasting songs will rise
For all You've done, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Thanks be to our God, thanks be to our God
Hallelujah, everlasting songs will rise
For all You've done, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Thanks be to our God
