INTRO:

Gm F/A Bb C F --- F Bb/F Gm/F Bb/F C/F

F C/E

I was raised an only child, My brother told me so

Bb/D C

Long ago when we played in the barn

F C/E

While Granny cooked and Granddad napped, Our mother watched us grow

Bb/D C

Hoping so that we would both go far

Gm Csus4 -- C

But life takes turns that never were expected

Gm C A7/C#

And so we learn to walk the winding road

Dm F/C Bb F/A

I’ve been lost, but now I’ve found, A peace I’ve always known

Gm F/A Bb C F

Thank you God, for home

I can see a joyous world Around us every day

Others seem to only feel the pain

They hide in fear when clouds draw near, They only see the storms

I just see the rainbows on the plain

Though life takes turns that never were expected

And as we learn to walk the winding road

Though you’ve been lost, you still can find The peace you’re dreaming of

Thank you God, for love

(chorus)

Dm C Bb F/A

Every day is just a little better than before

Dm Bb C

Every path I take is paved with gold

Dm C Bb F/A

Every moment that I live I know that it’s because

Gm F/A Bb C F

Thank you God, for love

Megan is an only child, And though she’s only ten

She’s blessed with wisdom far beyond her age

When others see an ambulance And think someone’s in need

She says, “Look, someone is getting aid.”

When life takes turns that never were expected

We all must learn to walk the winding road

So when you’re lost, just still your mind And pray to God above

Thank you God, for love

(chorus)

Every day is just a little better than before

Every path I take is paved with gold

Every moment that I live I know that it’s because

Thank you God, for love
