Verse 1

(It’s not by strength I’m alive)
I know that there’s a reason
Why I’m standing here

(It’s by your grace and might)
Through the valley of the shadow,
You are standing here

(You have been my guide)
You took me from the darkness,
To the path of light

I was filthy
When you found me
Picked me up and
Cleansed me holy

Chorus
I am so grateful
(for everything you’ve done for me)

I am so grateful
(for everything you’ve done for me)

Verse 2

If the fire can change a bad man,
Wild man..took me from the dirt
Turned me to a icon
Can I talk to the church
Bouh what Jah done
Not many make it here
Where mi come from
Cause freedom from the bottle
Is a struggle
Where mi come from

(Ah ah ah where mi come from)

So,when you see me here
I’m just a soldier that gave God my battle
Lost it there,
But God pulled me up from di rubble
I’ve got some scars but
Still a soldier on the double
Holding on to God
Through the good and di trouble yeah


I was filthy
When you found me
Picked me up and
Cleansed me holy

Chorus
I am so grateful
(for everything you’ve done for me)

I am so grateful
(for everything you’ve done for me)

Bridge

Allow me to give my testimony
Through my ups and downs
God’s been there for me
It’s true that my God never sleep nor slumber
Him always by my side
Through di rain and thunder
Lesa mukulu sana
Tapali ifingi ningalanda

I was filthy
When you found me
Picked me up and
Cleansed me holy

Chorus
I am so grateful
(for everything you’ve done for me)

I am so grateful
(for everything you’ve done for me)
