Thank You Lord

Tragedies are common place
All kinds of diseases, people are slipping away
The economy's down, people can't get enough pay
But as for me, all that I can say is

Thank You, Lord, for all You've done for me
Whoa-whoa-whoa

Whoa, folks without homes living out in the streets
And the drug habit some say they just can't beat
Oh, muggers and robbers, no place seems to be safe, Lord
But You've been my protection every step of the way

I wanna say
Thank You, Lord, for all You've done for me
Hey, hey, hey

It could have been me (thank You)
Outdoors (thank You)
With no food (thank You)
And no clothes (thank You)
Or all 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 every day by Your power (thank You)
You keep on keepin' me (thank You)

And I wanna say
Thank You, Lord, for all You've done for me
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa

It could have been me (thank You)
Outdoors (thank You)
With no food (thank You)
And no clothes (thank You)
All by myself (thank You)
Without a friend (thank You)
Or just another number (thank You)
With a tragic end, Lord (thank You, Lord)

But you didn't see fit (thank You)
To let none of these things be (thank You)
'Cause every day by Your power (thank You)
You keep on keepin' me (thank You)

And I wanna say
Thank You, Lord, for all You've done for me
And I wanna say
Thank You, Lord, for all You've done for me
And I wanna say
Thank You, Lord, for all You

I could have been dying (thank You)
Sleeping in a grave (thank You)
But You said no, no, no, oh (thank You)
You won't have it that way (thank You)

Thank You for loving me (thank You)
Thank You for keeping me (thank You)
Thank You for holding me (thank You)
