Thank God I Do
“I thank my God every time I remember you.” – Philippians 1:3
Lauren Daigle explains that the song “Thank God I DO” emerged out of COVID-19 lockdowns and uncertainties. Amid those experiences, the singer says she realized, “God puts very specific people in your life for a very specific reason. And I needed the people in my life at that time around me to keep my head above the water.”
With everyone stuck on Zoom during the pandemic, Lauren started several girls’ groups to stay in touch with friends. Because nobody was out touring or interacting in person, the online groups “allowed me an opportunity to…see my friends that I hadn’t been able to keep up with relationally in a while,” she said. That led to the song “Thank God I Do,” in which Daigle praises the Lord for the joy of being in a relationship with him and for his provision of the right people at the right times.
The Lord brings special people in your life to encourage you in your faith.
Give thanks to the Lord that you know Him and for those special people.
“I don’t know who I’d be
If I didn’t know you
I’d probably fall off the edge.
I don’t know where I’d go
If you ever let go
So keep me held in your hands.
I don’t know who I’d be
If I didn’t know you.
Thank God I do.” – Lauren Daigle
“I give thanks to my God always for you because of the grace of God that was given you in Christ Jesus” – 1 Corinthians 1:4
