Lyrics
I Am Alive. Prayer: I want to thank You for everything, Lord. All I ask is that You use me for Your glory. VERSE 1: (Richard) I woke up this morning, still alive, I've got to give You praise. I smiled at the dawn, knowing I'm blessed to have You, O sweet Lord. The world never told me, You are the life. Jesus, take my praise; my sins can't be measured yet, You died for my sake, dear Lord. CHORUS: Take my praise, O Lord, You're so beautiful on Your throne. Heal my soul, O Lord, make it whole, take it, it's Yours. VERSE 2: (John) I call on You Lord God, Ive tried in my own strength But it has been a waste of time. For it is in the Name of Jesus That I pray, I cry out to You Make a way for those in need, Not my own will but Yours be done I will wait on You Lord and Your eternal home. BRIDGE: (Richard) Glorious Father, in Your name, we are gathered. O Beautiful Father, we lift Your name higher.(4x) Copyright 2024 John Matteson and Richard Shekari Words: John Matteson and Richard Shekari Guitar: John Matteson Mix and Master: Richard Shekari
