THANK YOU LORD {FOR ALL YOU'VE DONE FOR ME}

{Walter Hawkins}


Verse 1:
Tragedies are common place. All kind of diseases, people are slipping away.
Economy's down, people can't get enough pay, 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 and the drug habit some say, they just can't beat. Muggers and robbers, no place seems to 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".

Chorus:
(It could have been me) thank You,
(outdoors) thank You,
(with no food) thank You,
(and no clothes) thank You,
(or left alone) thank You,
(without a friend) thank You,
(or just another number) thank You,
(with a tragic end) thank You, Lord.
(But You didn't see fit) thank You,
(to let none of these things be) thank You,
('cause everyday by Your power) thank You,
(You keep on keeping me) thank You;
(and I want to say) Thank You Lord for all You've done for me.

Repeat chorus.

Vamp 1:
I wanna thank You for Your love (Thank You).
Thank you for Your power (thank You)
Thank you for protection (thank You)
every hour (thank You).

Vamp 2:
(I wanna thank You for Your love) thank you,
(I wanna thank You for power) thank You,
(thank You for protection) thank you,
(every hour) Thank you.
