Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You saw my anger You heard my pain Pulled out a little chair by yours Said "Sit and say their name" You held the silence Till I could breathe You showed me how to bless the hurt And finally let it leave [Chorus] So I give thanks for you today For the way you showed me a softer way You taught compassion like a song Beat in my chest Keeping me strong I give thanks for all you’ve done You walked in truth You made me run Toward forgiveness Toward real love Thanks for being what you spoke of (yeah) [Verse 2] You never shouted You just stood firm Turned every hard word into a chance For my heart to learn You faced the rumor You faced the lie Told me "Clean eyes Clean hands That’s how we rise" [Chorus] So I give thanks for you today For the way you showed me a straighter way You taught compassion like a song Beat in my chest Keeping me strong I give thanks for all you’ve done You walked in truth You made me run Toward forgiveness Toward real love Thanks for being what you spoke of (oh, I’m thankful) [Bridge] You said "Love is work Love is choice Love is lifting up the smallest voice" Now when my heart wants to turn away I hear your words And I stay [Chorus] So I give thanks for you today For the way you brightened my every day You taught compassion like a song Beat in my chest Keeping me strong I give thanks for all you’ve done You walked in truth You made me run Toward forgiveness Toward real love Thanks for being what you spoke of Thanks for being my teacher of love (yeah, my teacher of love)
