Verse 1

I didn’t know the Healer
‘Til I needed healing
I didn’t need a Savior or
Some kind of Anchor
‘Til I lost my way

Verse 2

And I didn’t know the Father
‘Til I felt like an orphan
I didn’t need a river
A gracious forgiver
‘Til my soul was stained

Pre Chorus

You took my hurting
And gave it purpose

Chorus 1

Thank God for the anger
That forced me to pray
Thank God for the silence
That taught me to wait
If He spared me from breaking
And God knows I did
Then I never would’ve ever
Known how good God is

Verse 3

I didn’t know the Spirit
‘Til I felt His power
I didn’t see the Light
‘Til He opened my eyes
In my darkest hour

Verse 4

I didn’t know the Lion
‘Til I heard His roar
When I was surrounded couldn’t fight
Without Him not one second more

Known how good God is

Chorus 2

Thank God for the weakness
That showed me His strength
Thank God for the fire
That forged me with faith
If He spared me from drifting
As far as I did
Then I never would’ve ever
Known how good God is

Chorus 3

Thank God for His kindness
To give up His Son
To sit there and watch
As He says It is done
If He spared Him from thorns
And the nails through His wrists
Then I never would’ve ever known
How good God is
