Song Story: THE MUSIC:
This song was one of God's very first song giftings through me.
Written before I had the idea to put a Song Story at the end of each music sheet!
Written before I had the idea to put a Song Story at the end of each music sheet!
So I'd have to go way back in my journals.... this "might" have been in #1 of
my leather-bound journal series (I just started #22, 5 years later; 375 pages each. God's empowering, Ephesians 3:20-21).
But, as I recall (without searching out the story at this time):
This became my first song emphasizing God's scripture references so that
I could remember WHERE to find all God's promises!
May it also help you!

LYRICS
CHORUS
LORD, help me praise you like a squeaky wheel that
irks that devil so (... he'll go). Help
me to sing "I GIVE YOU THANKS" and
praise You even
though I'm squeaky,
sometimes creaky,
YET still raising "LOVE YOU" praising!
VERSE 1 <Hebrews 13:5, John 14:18, Nehemiah 8:10 >
When I hear sad and lonely thoughts,
I’ll praise You “even though.”
John 14 says You’ll never leave --
You’re my Friend and much more.
When I hear tired and weary thoughts,
I’ll praise You “even though.”
Your gift of Joy’s the strength I need--
Neh’miah 8 : 10 says so, And so, <CHORUS>
VERSE 2
When I hear “Don’t forgive them!” thoughts,
I’ll praise You “even though.”
Self-pity’s fun. But You said “None
who grudge are graced” – First John.
When I hear worried, fear-filled thoughts,
I’ll praise You “even though.”
You’re my Supply. I don’t know why <feeding 1000s; Good Shepherd>
I doubt John 6 and 10, And so, <CHORUS>
VERSE 3 <James 1:5, Philippians 4:13>
When I hear “I’m so STU-PID !!!” lies,
I’ll praise You “even though.”
You promised in James 1:5 and
Proverbs 3:5 “Ask Me,”
When I hear “I can’t DO this !!!” lies,
I’ll praise You “even though.”
Phil 4: Thirteen says You give strength
to me for ev’rything, And so, <CHORUS>
VERSE 4 <John 3: 17>
When I hear “God’s so un-fair !!!” lies,
I’ll praise You “even though.”
MY sense of fairness comes from You.
You understand far more.
When I hear “God’s a cruel god !!!” lies,
I’ll praise You “even though.”
If You weren’t loving, kind, and good,
You’d zapped me long ago! And so, <CHORUS>
VERSE 5 <Psalm 103, Romans 8:15-38, 1 John 1: 7-10>
When I hear “God’s won’t forgive !!!” lies,
I’ll praise You “even though.”
Psalm One-O-Three and more promise
You’ve cast my sins afar.
When sins and mistakes haunt my thoughts,
I’ll praise You “even though.”
You forgive and bring good through them,
Romans 8 says this and more: <TO BRIDGE>
BRIDGE MELODY SHIFTS UP EACH TIME:
<Bible VERSES> :
Romans 8
<15-16> <... that> You’re my Dad. I need not fear. When
<38> I call You, You will draw near. You
<1-4> set me free from sin and death. When
<5-11> my mind’s dark, You bring me breath. When
<12-13> I let Your Spi- rit lead me, You’ll
<14-15> make all these wrong thoughts leave me. So
<17-18> what if life’s not al- ways “fun”? You’ll
<19-25> pro- vide joy for a- ny one who
SLOWER asks...................... and so... Lord,
<to CHORUS>
TAG only after last chorus
You deserve much more!
