Description
When I wake up in the morning, I wanna say thank You, Lord… Thank You, Lord…
If it wasn′t for Your mercy, I wanna say thank You, Lord… Thank You, Lord…
When the enemy rose against me, You stood and fought for me So I say thank You, Lord… Thank You, Lord…
You kept me, You saved me, I′m grateful, Lord
All Your goodness keeps running after me Your faithfulness is all I see
Thank You, Lord, for the sun I see Thank You, Lord, for the breath in me
Thank You, Lord, for the peace I feel Thank You, Lord, cause Your love is real
If it wasn′t for Your mercy, I wanna say thank You, Lord… Thank You, Lord…
Every day, every hour, thank You
You are the strength in my weakness, the one who lifts my head
You are the keeper of my spirit, my ever-present help
When the storms rose up around me, You whispered peace, be still
Now my soul is overflowing with gratitude to You
Thank You, Lord, for the sun I see Thank You, Lord, for the breath in me
Thank You, Lord, for the peace I feel Thank You, Lord, cause Your love is real
If it wasn′t for Your mercy, I wanna say thank You, Lord… Thank You, Lord…
For every battle You fought, thank You, Lord
For every door You opened, thank You, Lord
For every time You healed me, thank You, Lord
For every heavy burden lifted, thank You, Lord
For the love I don′t deserve, thank You, Lord
For the mercy that found me, thank You, Lord
I just wanna say thank You, thank You, thank You, thank You
For my family, thank You, for my journey, thank You
For protection, thank You For provision, thank You
You′ve been good, You′ve been kind You′ve been faithful, thank You, Jesus
When I wake up in the morning, I wanna say thank You, Lord
Thank You, thank You, thank You
Thank You Lord
