thankful

when you see me and tears are falling from my eyes

its because i'm thankful

thankful

and you see me dancing around and you're wondering why

it's because i'm thankful

for when i think about your goodness

and all the ways you've made for me

i did nothing to deserve it

it's just you keep blessing me

and without your tender mercy

i don't know where i would be

makes me say i'm thankful

thankful

i'm thankful

it's because i'm thankful

when i remember where i was and where i am right now

it makes me say i'm thankful

thankful

the lord lifted my hands when i felt like throwing in the towel

lord that's why i'm thankful

cause you were not there when my life was hurting but somehow god he brought me though

and what the enemy meant for my evil god you turned it around for my good

and there never was a moment when you left my there alone

ooo that's why i'm thankful thankful

it's because i'm thankful

for the times you've stood by me

when all around i walked away

and the sins i committed against you jesus

because of the blood lord you forgave me

thank you lord for every blessing

and new mercy every day

thankful thankful

it's because i'm thankful

thankful

it's because i'm thankful

thankful

it's because i'm thankful
