verse 1 before i even knew who i was or what my mom and daddy meant to me you were there guiding my footsteps and sharing all the love you have for me chorus now i can say i love you jesus you ve been so good to me you died on calvary now i can say i love you jesus thank you cause you ve been so good to me verse 2 and now that i am older and have experienced some things i realize that you were there with problems seen and unseen i thank you for your goodness and i thank you for your grace without your love and tender mercy i would loose this christian race chorus now i can say i love you jesus you ve been so good to me you died on calvary now i can say i love you jesus thank you cause you ve been so good to me
