I have to say

I’ve come a long way

From stress and strain

And heartache and pain

I’ll say with pride

God has been my guide

With all respect due

I know what He’s brought me through

I have to say

I’ve come a long way

I cannot lie

God heard my cry

He restored my soul

He made me whole

It is by His grace

That I’m in a better place

I have to say

I’ve come a long way

When I was down

God turned me around

It’s easy to see

He brings out the best in me

He filled me to the core

I want to give Him more

Without hesitation

I’ll show my appreciation

Cause I know for sure

That His love is pure

And I have to say

He’s brought me a long way
