Song Day! The Best Thing by Gladys Knight

This song is re-written as a song of prayer, a song of praise, a song of thanksgiving. With just a few minor changes (in caps, as usual) I recognize that the old HP has been with me through it all; even the hell and ugliness of active addiction. With this re-write, I express my love for, and gratitude to, Him for the unconditional love, grace and forgiveness He offers me. All I have to do is open these gifts to make them mine.

The Best Thing (That ever happened to me) By Gladys Knight

I've had my share,
Of life's ups and downs,
but fate's been kind,
downs BROUGHT ME TO YOU,

I guess You could say,

I've been lucky,
Or I guess You could say,
That it's all because of You.

If anyone, should ever write, my life story,

for whatever reason there might be,
Ohm...You'd be there,
between each line of pain and glory,
cause You're the best thing that ever happened to me,
Oh You're the best thing that ever happened to me.

There have been times,

when times were hard,
but always somehow I made it, I made it through,
But for every moment that I've been hurtin',
there was a moment, that YOU spent.....
Oh just loving ME,

If anyone should ever write my life story,

for whatever, for whatever reason there might be,
You'd be there, between each line of pain and glory,
Cause You're the best thing that ever happened to me,
Oh You're the best thing that ever happened to me,
I know, You're the best thing....
Oh that ever happened,
to me.

Have a good and sober day.
