Tragedies are commonplace   All kinds of diseases, people are slipping away   Economies down, people don't get   Enough pay   But as for me all I can say is   Thank you Lord for all you done for me      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   And I want to say    thank you Lord for all you've done   For me hey?      [Lead:] It could've been me   [Chorus:] Thank you    [L:] Outdoors   [C:] Thank you   [L:] With no food    [C:] Thank you   [L:] And no clothes   [C:] Thank you   [L:] All left alone   [C:] Thank you   [L:] Without a friend   [C:] Thank you   [L:] Or just another number   [C:] Thank you   [L:] With a tragic end   [C:] Thank you   [L:] But you didn't see fit   [C:] Thank you   [L:] To let none of these things be   [C:] Thank you   [L:] You keep on, keeping on, keeping me   [C:] Thank you   [L:] I wanna say   [Chorus:] Thank you Lord for all you've done for me      I wanna thank you for your love   Thank you for your power   Thank you for protection, every hour   Thank you
