I've had my share of life's ups and downs
The ups been kind and the downs have been few, mhm
I guess you can say I've been blessed
Well I guess you can say it's all because of you

If anyone should ever write a story
For whatever reason that might be
Then he'll be there between each line, pain and glory
Oh, you're the best thing that ever happened to me
Oh, Jesus is the best thing that ever happened to me

Oh, there's been times, times gone
But always somehow I made it
For every moment I've spent hurting, hurting
There has never been a moment that the Lord didn't see me through
Hey, hey

If anyone should ever write my last story
For whatever reason, for whatever reason that might be, might be
He's been there between each line of pain and glory
Oh, he's the best thing that ever happened
He's the best thing that ever happened
Jesus is the best thing that ever happened to me

Oh, oh, oh, Jesus is the best thing (say it again)
Jesus is the best thing, yeah (if you ever had something good)
Oh, oh, oh, Jesus is the best thing (then you know what I mean when I say Jesus is)
Jesus is the best thing, yeah (oh, oh)
Oh, oh, oh, Jesus is the best thing (whenever I'm lonely)
Jesus is the best thing, yeah (I can really count on him)
Oh, oh, oh, Jesus is the best thing ('cause that's the kind of friend, that's the kind of friend)
Jesus is the best thing, yeah (that Jesus is)
Oh, oh, oh, Jesus is the best thing (oh, oh, oh, Jesus is)
Jesus is the best thing, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, Jesus is the best thing
Jesus is the best thing, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, Jesus is the best thing
Jesus is the best thing, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, Jesus is the best thing
Jesus is the best thing, yeah
