Lord I've come today to thank you,
But not for things, I've ever mentioned here before.
Not for blessings you have given,
Or the joys, you promised are in store.
So as I bow before you,
Give me the words, to express my deepest thanks.
Not for what you've given,
But Lord, what you took away.
*You took my guilt and shame,
And all my sinful blame became as yours.
You opened wide your hands,
As a guilty man, you wore my crown of thorns.
You took the dept I earned,
And all that I deserved on calvary.
Lord thanks for what you've given,
But most of all, thanks for what you took from me.*
Father please forgive me,
For all the times, I've failed to mention this before.
I've been so concerned with treasures,
I went so far, as to even ask for more.
But you've shown me Lord what's precious,
It's not the things, you've given me today.
For their worth to me is nothing,
When compared, to what you took away.
*Repeat Chorus:
**What you took from me!**
