Lyrics
Verse 1:
Your glistening eyes look into my soul as we sit with hearts so warmed;
Ignited by embers that kindle the love we wish we could attain.
Now at a time I never knew I’d see, the love of God warms you and me
My life felt nothing, then you shared, now together here we are so free.
Chorus:
Thank you God
Oh, I thank you God
For the Blessings you have brought. (x2)
Verse 2:
Jesus wrapped his arms around our life, our family, and holds us to his chest
The agony has died, now we feel the rhythm of His healing breath.
Invincible in strength, yet tender in love, wielding grace like a weapon against hell.
Chorus: (x2)
Verse 3:
Such sweet assurance, Such a weight of blessings, the burgeoning awe of mercy
In His hands we rest assured in faith so fearless and so strong
The warmth of God’s love, He’s wrapped his grace around us both,
And here we will remain.
Chorus: (x2)

Beautiful song telling of a life of faith.
I’d love to hear what accompaniment this song would have. Is it a worship song?
