[Intro]
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)
[Verse 1]
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)
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
If anyone should ever write my life story
For whatever reason there might be
One day I was lost but Jesus found me
[Verse 3]
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
