There's an old gospel song with the title "Thank You Lord".
I remember it from my childhood in New Jersey, 1950s. But for whatever reasons, I actually can only remember the chorus and the one verse:

chorus:
Thank you Lord
Thank you Lord
Thank you Lo-or-ord
I just want to thank you Lord.

He's so good
He's so good
He's so good-o-ood
I just want to thank you Lord.

Maybe the actual title for that gospel song is "I Just Want To Thank You Lord" as that is the end line for the chorus and for each verse.
