There's also a song that was first recorded in the 1980s whose title is "Thank You Lord". I'm not sure if this is considered a gospel song or a R&B song or both. It was also recorded by Chante Moore:

I WANT TO THANK YOU
(Kevin McCord) as sung by Chante Moore

Heavenly, heavenly, heavenly, heavenly.
Heavenly, heavenly, heavenly, heavenly.
Heavenly, heavenly, heavenly, heavenly.
I want to thank You, heavenly Father, for shining Your light on me,
You sent me someone who really loves me, and not just my body,
he keeps me happy, so very happy (and loves me), I don't know how to be,

it's been a long time since I've had someone who loves me,
I owe my thanks to Thee (thank You !).
I know it could not happen, without Your love,
ooh, without Your love.

It took a long time for it to happen, but I knew those nights I prayed(heavenly Father !),
that You would sent me someone who's real, and not someone for play,
I kept the faith and didn't worry, my nights grew longer than the days,until one day it really happened, You sent true love my way (thank You !).

And I know it could not happen, without You,
ooh, without You.

When the time is right, he'll fill Your life, with love and care,
believe, and He'll be there,
just do all right, don't do no wrong and keep the faith,
the Lord will shine his light your way.

Thank you Father, for shining Your light on me,
(heavenly, heavenly, heavenly, heavenly),
I prayed a long time for it to happen, I did 'cause I believed,
he makes me happy, so very happy, I don't know how to be,
it's been a long time, since I've had someone who loves me,
I owe my thanks to Thee (thank You !).

And I know it could not happen, without You,
ooh, without You.
And my nights were long and blue (it could not happen),
until He sent me you (without You),
ooh, without You.
And my nights were long and blue (it could not happen),
until He sent me you (without Your love),
ooh, without Your love.

My nights were long and blue (my nights were long and blue),
until He sent me you (I couldn't live without You),
ooh, without You, yeah.
My nights were long and blue (so blue),
until He sent me you (I couldn't live without You),
ooh, without Your love, ooh.
And my nights were long and blue (it could not happen),
until He sent me you (without You),
ooh, without You, yeah.

And my nights were long and blue (it could not happen),
until He sent me you (without Your love),
ooh, without Your love, ooh.

And my nights were long and blue (it could not happen),
until He sent me you (without You, without You, without You),
ooh, without You.
And I know it could not happen without You.

Oh, ooh.
Heavenly, heavenly, heavenly, heavenly.
So heavenly, Father.
Is the love we share.
I thank You.
Heavenly Father.
(Heavenly Father.)
For what you've given me.
I thank you Father.
Heavenly Father.
Ooh.
Heavenly, heavenly, heavenly, heavenly.
I wanna thank You.
Heavenly Father.
With You everything is possible.
Heavenly, heavenly, heavenly, heavenly.
