Lyrics
Verse1
For every morning that I rise, for every breath that I take, For every blink of my eyes and every step that I make; I wanna thank you Lord for making it happen each day. So Ill take this time to say to You thank you for your grace.
Chorus
It was your grace and mercy, that brought me safely this far, Im a living testimony and I wanna thank you Lord; Every time my heart beats its blessing you give to me So I wanna say, thank you, thank you , Thank you LORD!
Verse 2
Thank you Lord for all youve done for me;
Through your grace and mercy Ive been set free.
Each and every day that I live I got to give you thanks So Ill take this time to say to You thank you for your grace.
Chorus
It was your grace and mercy, that brought me safely this far, Im a living testimony and I wanna thank you Lord, Every time my heart beats its blessing you give to me So I wanna say, thank you, thank you , Thank you LORD

If I had ten thousand tongues, and praised you with every one I would not be enough to thank you for your love;
But Ill use what I have, to lift up your name
To tell a dying world for them youll do the very same.
Vamp
I want to take a little time and say thank you, thank you Lord.
