“I’m Glad That God Chose Me to Be Your Son,” New Era, June 1985, 28–29 In Tune: I’m Glad That God Chose Me to Be Your Son Words and Music by Deanna Edwards In free, rhythmic style 1. You were there when I needed you to guide me. When I stumbled, you were near to take my hand. You were proud ev’ry time you walked beside me, In a thousand ways I didn’t understand. [Chorus:] Oh, Dad, I never thought that I would ever find the words to thank you for the many things you’ve done. I want to say “I love you” from the bottom of my heart, And I’m glad that God chose me to be your son. 2. (There were) times when I didn’t know the reasons, When you stood by me and never asked me why. As our moments melted softly into seasons, I learn’d that I had wings enough to fly. [Chorus] Yes, I’m glad that God chose me to be your son. Copyright © 1985 by Deanna Edwards. All rights reserved. Making copies of this music for use within the Church is permitted.
