I'm Thankful for my Friend's that Care
And  for their Lives that I can Share
I'm Thankful for my Family Too
Cause they are the Bond that holds like Glue
The pain in my Heart is so Deep
I know the Angels cry when I Weep
But it's hard to feel so Blue
When I know God's love is so True
As bad as our Lives are now and for a while will Be
I'm Thankful that God's watching over Me
I'm Thankful for God's love
And his Grace from Above
I'm Thankful for his Hands
And for his Footprints in the Sands
I'm Thankful for the Clouds in the Shy
And for God's Sweet by and By
I'm Thankful for the Moon and Stars
And for Jesus Salvation and his Scars
So I'm Thankful that he Bled and Died
And I know that the Angels Cried
For they brought down the Rain
So it could Wash away my Grief and Pain

Thankful Through the Pain
