Have I Ever Thanked You

This is a raw home recording of my first Christmas song.

We have all heard it said that Christ would have come and died on the cross if you were the only person on earth. Though there is not a particular scripture that expresses it like that, I believe that this is true.

While studying about the value of intimacy in worship, I was touched by the fact that this same true applies to His incarnation as well. There would have been a Christmas, even if I had been the only person on earth that needed to be saved.

I wanted to express my thankfulness to the Lord for that in a song, and here it is.

HAVE I EVER THANKED YOU?

Inro: Gadd9 Em/G Gadd9 Em/G

Gadd9 Em/G
You left your home

To be with me, eternally

Gadd9 Em/G
The angels cried
Gadd9 Em/G
The heavens sighed

When you were born
Cmaj7 Dsus D
In human form

Have I ever thanked you Lord

For leaving your Father, Lord
Am7 Am7/G D
And I know you would have done it just for me

How can I not give my all
Em
And follow when you call
Am7 Am7/G
Give my life and all I have
Fmaj7 D Gadd9 Em/G (2x)
In exchange for the greatest gift of all

And peace on earth

The Father is pleased
