This week’s featured song story comes to us from Mosaic MSC. We’re excited to share with you the story behind their song “This Is How I Thank The Lord.”
“We wrote this song on our first writing trip after none of us had seen each other in about six months. We weren’t even coming into the office. It was so shut down in LA. I remember the first couple of writing sessions that we had we were like ‘we’ve lost it, we’re bad, we don’t know anything about music. What have I been doing for six months?’ It took a while to get anything and it was super interesting because across the board of all the songs we had written that weren’t super good yet, they were all about gratitude which I think overwhelmingly none of us knew we felt. It was like why? None of us were like ‘I am grateful.’ We’re like honestly life sucks. But we were like ok how do we convey we’re being grateful? And we just said why don’t we say ‘this is how I thank the Lord?’ That line really stuck and it’s become such a meaningful song now for us.“ – Mosaic MSC

“This Is How I Thank The Lord” Lyrics
Verse 1
I don’t have enough words
I’ll never live enough lifetimes
To fully know Your worth
To know all that You deserve
All of my deceptions
All of my duplicity
Now there is no record
You assume the best of me
Chorus 1
This is why I thank the Lord for saving me
When I was weak, so I will sing
This is why I thank the Lord for everything
This is why I thank the Lord
Verse 2
All of my affection
Everything I have to give
The sum of my attention
Is measured in the praise I lift
Chorus 2
This is how I thank the Lord for saving me
When I was weak, so I will sing
This is how I thank the Lord for everything
This is how I thank the Lord
Chorus 3
This is how I thank the Lord for saving me
For loving me and keeping me
This is how I thank the Lord for everything
This is how I thank the Lord
Bridge
I will sing, I will sing
I will lift my praises to You
I will sing, I will sing
I will lift my praises to You
I will sing, I will sing
I will lift my praises to You
I will sing, I will sing
‘Cause this is how I praise the Lord
Tag
This is how I thank the Lord
This is how I thank the Lord
This is how I thank the Lord
This is how I thank the Lord
