For letting me see the dawning of a brand-new day
I wanna thank you, for all that you've done for me
Lord, I wanna thank you, for all that you've done for me
For all that you've done for me
When I was down and out, didn't have a dime
You made a way for me, you stepped in right on time
Lord, I wanna thank you for that you've done for me
For all that you've done for me
For all that you've done for me
For all that you've done for me
For all that you've done for me
For all that you've done for me
For all that you've done for me
When I was sick, seems like I couldn't get well
Lord, you healed my body, Jesus, and now I can tell
I wanna thank you Lord, for all that you've done for me
I wanna thank, I wanna thank you for all you've done
For all that you've done for me
For all that you've done for me
For all that you've done for me
For all that you've done for me
For all that you've done for me
You came down, Lord, you came to calvary
I wanna thank you for all you've done
I thank you for all you've done
When I was sick in my body, didn't know if I was going to get well
Lord you healed me and now I can tell, thank you
Lord you healed me and now I can tell, thank you
You didn't have to do it but you did and I thank ya, I bless ya, I praise you
Praise you
Praise you
Praise you
Praise you
Praise you
You woke me up this morning, started me on my way
Clothed me in my right mind, Jesus, and I wanna thank you
You been so good
You been so good
You stepped in right on time, Jesus
And I wanna thank you for all that you've done for me
For all you've done for me
