Thank You Lyrics
Walter Hawkins & The Love Center Choir
Lyrics
Tragedies are common place
All kinds of diseases
People are slipping away
Economys down
People cant get enough pay
As for me, all I can say is
Thank you Lord for all you done for me
Folks without homes
Out in the streets
And the drug habit some say
They just cant beat
Muggers and robbers
No place seems to be safe
But you been my protection
Every step of the way
I wanna say, thank you Lord for all you done for me
It couldve been me
Thank you
Outdoors
Thank you
No food
Thank you
No clothes
Thank you
Or just alone
Thank you
Without a friend
Thank you
Or just another number
Thank you
Without
Thank you
But you didnt see fit
Thank you
To let none of these things be
Thank you
Cause everyday by you Father
Thank you
You keep on keeping me
Thank you
Thank you Lord for all youve done for me
Thank you Lord for all youve done for me
Thank you Lord for all youve done for me
Run 1 (repeat 2x)

I wanna thank you for loving me Lord
Thank you
I wanna say thank you
Thank you
