Tragedies are commonplace
All kinds of diseases, people are slipping away
Economies down, people don't get
Enough pay
But as for me all I can say is
Thank you Lord for all you done for me
Folks without homes are in the streets
And the 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
And I want to say
thank you Lord for all you've done
For me hey?
[Lead:] It could've been me
[Chorus:] Thank you
[L:] Outdoors
[C:] Thank you
[L:] With no food
[C:] Thank you
[L:] And no clothes
[C:] Thank you
[L:] All left alone
[C:] Thank you
[L:] Without a friend
[C:] Thank you
[L:] Or just another number
[C:] Thank you
[L:] With a tragic end
[C:] Thank you
[L:] But you didn't see fit
[C:] Thank you
[L:] To let none of these things be
[C:] Thank you
[L:] But every day by your power said ya
You keep on, keeping on, keeping me
[C:] Thank you
[L:] I wanna say
[Chorus:] Thank you Lord for all you've done for me
I wanna thank you for your love
Thank you for your power
Thank you for protection, every hour
Thank you
