Some folks don’t like contemporary Christian music. They say it is not Godly. I do not agree, I believe there is a lot of contemporary music out today that is very worshipful and praiseworthy.
This song by the contemporary Christian group called “Mikeschair” is one of those songs. So many verses came to mind when I first heard it that I thought it would be fun to write out the lyrics and match them up with Scripture. Here is a video for you to play while you read the rest of the article:
I could write a love song
Tell you what I think you want to hear
But it wouldn’t be good enough, no
Yeah, I could try so hard
To give it everything I’ve got
But I’m not ever gonna measure up

And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord. (Psalms 40:3)
(Chorus)
All I can do is thank you for this life I never deserved
Wanna thank you for the grace I know I don’t have to earn
You love me, you love me, your mercy is proof
All I can do is say thank you
All I can do is say thank you
I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving. (Psalms 69:30)

For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the Lord endureth for ever. Praise ye the Lord. (Psalms 117:2)
It would have been easy
But I’m glad you never walked away
Cause your love runs deep for me
And I see this beautiful world and it brings tears to my eyes
And I think it’s beautiful to be free

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. (John 15:13)

For love, for hope, for all the ways
Yeah, for everything you do
What else can I say but thank you
Thank you
Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; (Ephesians 5:20)
