There are crosses we carry
There are thorns in our side
There are memories so heavy we're all bent up inside
From the hurt and the trauma and the tears that we've cried
Let the shadows remind us there's a Heavenly light
For God so loved, so loved the world
He gave His one and only Son
Gave everything for everyone
Give thanks to God
Give thanks to God
For the work that is finished, in the Father's eyes
For the blood that has painted all my wrongs now made right
For the lost that are finding no one's out of Your sight
Turn that mourning to dancing, now there's no need to hide
For God so loved, so loved the world
He gave His one and only Son
Gave everything for everyone
Give thanks to God
Give thanks to God
Give thanks to God
For His great love
Give thanks to God
For everything, for everyone
Give thanks to God
Give thanks to God
For God so loved, so loved the world
He gave His one and only Son
Gave everything for everyone
Give thanks to God
Give thanks to God
Give thanks to God
Give thanks to God
Give thanks to God
