[Verse 1]
Tragedies are common place.
All kind of diseases, people are slipping away.
Economies down, people can’t get enough pay.
But as for me all I can say is…
Thank you Lord for all you’ve done for me.

[Verse 2]
Folks without homes, living out in the streets.
With a drug habit some say they just can’t beat.
Muggers and robbers, no place seems to be safe.
But you’ve been my protection every step of the way.
I want to say, thank you Lord for all you’ve done for me.

[Chorus]
(Could have been me) Thank you.
(Outdoors) Thank you.
(With no clothes) Thank you.
(And no food) Thank you.
(Or all alone) Thank you.
(Without a friend) Thank you.
(Or just another number) Thank you.
(With a tragic end) Thank you.
Oooh… Thank you.
(But you didn’t see fit to let none of these things be) Thank you.
(You see it’s only by your grace) Thank you.
(That you keep on keeping me) Thank you.
(I want to say) Thank you Lord for all you’ve done for me.

(Could have been you) Thank you.
(repeat chorus)

Thank you Lord for all you’ve done for me.
Thank you Lord for all you’ve done for me.
Thank you Lord for all you’ve done for me.

[Vamp]
I wanna thank you for your love.
Thank you for your power.
Thank you your protection.
Every hour.
[repeat]

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank yoooou…
[repeat]

[repeat vamp]
Thank you, thank you, thank, thank you, thank you…
