AJT and MJeezy - Thank You

I often stop and think
The chain of events that were hard to link
Times that got my heart to drop and sink
Switched to blessings 'for I got to blink
If a grand designer didn't exist then
Tell me who invented this world, made it spin and
Got me to this moment, I'd never know it
But all struggles and happy memories are interwoven
I was raised in health
Embraced some wealth, and foolishly start to praise myself
Like it wasn't a blessing
Like every hard day wasn't a lesson, instead of distressing
I should've thanked the Lord, who made me strong
And stopped the second guessing , this is my confession
I was deaf to the message
I hope I'm smart enough now to thank him every second
Thank you, Lord. I'm grateful, Lord
I'm a sinful soul and I'm not sure what you save me for
I can't ignore all the times before
You came to my aid and everything that you helped me for
Every time I fall and try to end it all
You'd lift me and you'd grace me with the wherewithal
All the pain I saw, I couldn't take no more
You'd help me up and you'd make sure that I stand up tall
Dear Lord, I thank you. I know I've been ungrateful
I know I've been unfaithful. Soul's dark and hateful
Although I grew up playful, I've been served a plateful
Drove me quite unstable. Made me quite disdainful
Dear Lord, I lost my smile. Can't find it for a while
I've been going through some trials. Tribulations have been vile
I've been drowning in denial. Like savages in the wild
Red cobras and crocodiles, they've been preying on your child
Dear Lord, I've been blessed. I've been put to the test
I've been working through the stress. Praying more and hurting less
I've been put through the ringer. Been surrounded by some stingers
They slither and they linger like diamonds around a finger
Dear Lord. Let me sing your praise. I'm blinded by your grace
Although my soul is at bay, I've been working on my faith
Dear Lord, I pray; You cleanse my sins away
You look past my mistakes, and you make them all pay
Thank you, Lord. I'm grateful, Lord
I'm a sinful soul and I'm not sure what you save me for
I can't ignore all the times before
You came to my aid and everything that you helped me for
Every time I fall and try to end it all
You'd lift me and you'd grace me with the wherewithal
All the pain I saw, I couldn't take no more
You'd help me up and you'd make sure that I stand up tall
