as the sun slowly rises above the river
i look out over all that god has made
listen as the day starts to awaken
i thank god for things that never change
i can hear her laughing in the kitchen
and the sounds of little footsteps on the stairs
i've got all i'll ever need: a wife
a home
a family
and i thank god for all those answered prayers
and it's good
i got more than i ever thought i would
i can finally see how all the wrong turns and the heartaches
the lessons in the mistakes
help me count these blessings like i should
and it's so good
every day's a gift that i've been given
every breath feels like a second chance
and everything i've done heaven has seen
and god just keeps on forgiving me
and i
do my best to change what i can
and it's so good
i got more than i ever thought i would
i can finally see how all the wrong turns and the heartaches
the lessons in the mistakes
help me count these blessings like i should
and it's good to know that i have been forgiven
good to have her laying by my side
i've been given more than i deserve
for a past so full of bridges burned
i couldn't make this better if i tried
and it's so good
i got more than i ever thought i would
i can finally see how all the wrong turns and the heartaches
the lessons in the mistakes
help me count these blessings like i should
and it's so good
