Verse 1:
Tragedies are common place all kinds of diseases,
people are slipping away. Economy's down,
people can't get enough pay,
but as for me, all I can say is thank you Lord, for all you've done for me.

Verse 2:
Folks without homes, living out 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'll be my protection every step of the way;
and I want to say, thank you Lord, for all you've done for me.

Chorus:
(It could have been me) thank You,
(outdoors) thank You,
(with no food) thank You,
(and no clothes) thank You,
(All left alone) thank You,
(without a friend) thank You,

(or just another number) thank You,
(with a tragic end) thank You, oh.
(But You didn't see fit) thank You,
(to let none of these things be) thank You,
(and everyday by Your power) thank You,
(You keep on, keep on keeping me) thank You;
And I wanna say thank you Lord for all you've done for me.

[Vamp 1:](I wanna thank You for Your love) thank You,
(for Your power) thank You,
(for Your protection) thank You,
(every hour) thank You.
