Story behind the song
In September 2004 I was asked to write a song to be played at our church's Teacher Appreciation banquet. This is the result.
Lyrics
THANK YOU (WHERE WOULD I BE?)

Verse
What if she hadn't come and taken me by the hand?
What if she hadn't helped me learn to understand
That God is love and Jesus loves even me.
Where would I be? Where would I be?
Verse
What if she hadn't helped me learn the Bible books
Or taught that Jesus ate with sinners and with crooks
Or healed the blind man or died to set me free?
Where would I be? Where would I be?
Chorus
Thank you for every minute, every hour
Each and every day,
in every way
Teaching all God's children.
Thank you for walking in the Spirit's power.
I thank God for you
And I thank you.
Verse
What if I hadn't learned of Joseph and his coat?
What about Esther, or Ruth, or prophets of old?
What about Jesus who bore the cross for me?
Where would I be? Where would I be?
