In Praise To You

Verse 1

You reach down your loving arms and pick me up off the street
Dusted off my faded jeans and set me back on my feet
I guess ya saw something Lord nobody else could see
And the power of your love made a man out of me.

Verse 2

I've stood on a mountain top and tried to write my song
Sometimes the words were easy and sometimes they wouldn't come
But I guess throughout it all I've no room to complain
For when I had no words I still had my songs to sing

Verse 3

I guess I've done a lot of things most men will never do
And I'm proud throughout it all that I've not lost sight of you
I guess I'll never understand the mysteries of your ways
But you know I'm thankful Lord you chose my soul to save

Chorus

So lead me down country road along the tracks a guitar on my back
So lead me Lord in what I do I'll sing my song in praise to you
