Thank You Lord

Eh, eh-eh-e-yeah

Tragedies are commonplace
All kinds of diseases, people are slipping away
Economy is down, people can't get enough pay
But as for me, oh, all I can say is
Thank You, Lord, for all you've done for me, yeah, yeah

Now, folks without homes are in the streets
And the drug habit, some say they just can't beat
Muggers and robbers, no place seems to be safe
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, yeah

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)

But Lord, You didn't see fit (thank You)
To let none of these things be (thank You)
And every day by your power (thank You)
You keep on, you keep on keeping me (thank You)

I wanna say (thank You, Lord, for all You've done for me)
Yeah, I wanna say (thank You, Lord, for all You've done for me)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I wanna say (thank You, Lord, for all You've done)
