Lyrics

I've had my share of life's ups and downs

God's been good to me and the downs have been few

Well I guess you can say, "God has blessed me"

(I heard Gladys Knight sing this song the other day)

But there's never been a time in my life He didn't bring me through

(I changed the words)

If anyone should ever write my life story

For whatever reason there might be

You'd be there between each line of pain and glory

(Now I don't know who Gladys Knight was talking about, but you know what)

Jesus is the best thing that ever happened

Jesus is the best thing that ever happened

Jesus is the best thing that ever happened to me

If anyone should ever write my life story

For whatever reason there might be

One day I was lost but Jesus found me

Jesus is the best thing that ever happened

Jesus is the best thing that ever happened

Jesus is the best thing that ever happened to me

If anyone should ever write my life story

For whatever reason there might be

I was on my way to hell but Jesus He found me

Jesus is the best thing that ever happened

Jesus is the best thing that ever happened

Jesus is the best thing that ever happened to me

Jesus is the best thing that ever happened

Jesus is the best thing that ever happened

Jesus is the best thing that ever happened to me

Jesus is the best thing that ever happened

Jesus is the best thing that ever happened

Jesus is the best thing that ever happened

Jesus is the best thing that ever happened

Jesus is the best thing that ever happened to me

Jesus is the best thing that ever happened

Jesus is the best thing that ever happened

Jesus is the best thing that ever happened to me
