Subject: Add: I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU LORD (Sparks)
Rare spring sunshine, prayers for healing answered, and more, lead me to work on this one today.

I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU LORD
As sung by Larry Sparks on his album of that title

I just want to thank you Lord
For every time You heard me pray;
I just want to thank you for always "bein' there."
When I was so down and out,
You came along ['n'] made me want to shout,
"I just want to thank You Lord! Thank You, Lord."

If I had a thousand lives to live
I'd give them all to my Lord.
He's been so good to me-- that is the least I could afford!
He's made good times outnumber the bad;
He's been the best friend I ever had.
I just want to thank You Lord! Thank You, Lord.

[spoken interlude with picking]

I just want to thank you Lord
For every time You heard me pray;
I just want to thank you for always "bein' there."
When I was so down and out,
You came along ['n'] made me want to shout,
"I just want to thank You Lord! Thank You, Lord."
I just want to thank You Lord, thank You, Lord.

Our version will skip the spoken part and add a new verse, yet to write.
