“Thank You” by Johnny Reid

When the heart is too full for words, the most sincere expression of love is often a simple offering of thanks. Johnny Reid completely captures this idea in his tender love song “Thank You.” His warm, soulful voice and the beautiful melody put into words what so many of us long to express.

The narrative voice in this song is reminiscing about the life they shared with someone who was a pillar in their lives.

Thank you for the life you’ve given me.
Thank you for sharin’ all your love and your peace.
Thank you, for every tear of happiness I’ve cried.

The song also acknowledges that its subject sacrificed a great deal in order to lift up someone else. The words speak to how the person did so selflessly and without asking anything in return.

Thank you for layin’ down your life to be crucified.
You’ve never let me down.
Its like you don’t know how.

We all have people in our lives who we will forever be indebted to. But all too often, we find it hard to tell them what’s in our hearts. When our gratitude is beyond the capacity of language, sometimes a song can express what’s in our heart.
