Thank you for all you've done

Thank you for all you do,
You brought me through
When I look around

You've been a friend
Glory, Honor, exaltation, power, blessings, worship
Love without end,
You've been a friend, ooh
Theres not a friend like you, ooh
Verse II (lead adlibs)
(For protecting) For protecting me,
(when I) when I could not see
(thank you for hiding me) Thank you for hiding me,(under the shadow)
in the shadow of your wings
(when I look around) When I look around, (when I look around)and see you (and I see you, see you)again-ain
