    LYRICS:
    I want to thank you
    Heavenly Father for shining your light on me
    You sent me someone who really loves me
    And not just my body
    He keeps me happy so very happy
    And he loves me
    I don't know how to be
    It's been a long time since I had someone who loves me
    I owe my thanks to Thee
    I know it could not happen without your love
    Ooh without your love
    It took a long time for it to happen
    But I knew those nights I prayed
    That you would send me someone who's real
    And not no one for play
    I kept the faith
    And didn't worry
    My nights grew longer than the days
    Until one day
    It really happen
    Sent true love my way
    I know it couldn't have happened without you
    Ooh without you
    When the time is right
    He'll fill your life with love and care
    Believe
    And He'll be there
    Just do all right
    Don't do no wrong
    And the keep the faith
    The Lord will shine his light your way
    Thank you Father
    For shining your light on me
    I prayed long time
    For it to happen
    I did because I believe
    He makes me happy
    So very happy
    I don't know how to be
    It's been a long time
    Since I had someone who love me
    I owe my thanks to Thee
    I know it couldn't have happened without you
    Ooh without you
    I know it couldn't have happened without your love
    Ooh without your love

    I have loved this song for years.....I do mean YEARS!!! Have listened to it as a single woman, as a single mom. In my 20's, through my 30's, 40's up til this current day.
    I'm sitting here well past 50, almost 60 thinking, "Wow this is my story". After nearly 20 years of giving my time, affection, money, praise and energy to God (instead of a man)... God groomed me during those years to be a wife. And, when most people say, "oh if I'm not married by now then it ain't happening"....... I saw an old HS classmate on FB and we are now married 2 and a half years. In my mid 50's!!!!!!!!!! And I was 35 pounds overweight, going to work on the bus.
    I thank my heavenly Father! I do. I'm like, "hold up, wait, this is my song FOR REAL REAL".
    HAHAHAHA. God is good!
