When I was young and learned to ride
You were there by my side
watching me when I was at school
when I was learning all the rules
On the day my bride wore white
You were smiling in delight
You have always been and always will be there
When the stormy winters raged
You were my comfort and my strength
when the loneliness set in
You held my hand till the end
through the fire and through the rain
You refined me once again
and You’ve always been and always will be there
Never in a thousand words
could I bring to You
the praises that my heart contains
praises all for You
never in a thousand years
could I fully say
I thank you
Yeah I thank You
You spoke the word and there was life
formed the bed of oceans wide
with Your hands you hung the stars
made the mountains small and large
gave the birds a song to sing
gave the eagles his wings
and You’ve always been and always will be there
As You hung at Calvary
with hands pierced for me
taking what was mine
there on that tree
then You turned your face to heaven
saw this face of mine
and You said
this was all for you
