Give Thanks
Bill & Gloria Gaither Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Thanks, thanks I give you thanks
For all you′ve done
I am so blessed my soul has found rest
Oh, lord, I give you thanks

Thank you, Lord, for the strength you give
To carry on.Through life's toils and tests,
And the worst and best,
I′m never left alone.
You're always right beside me,
You hear me every time I pray.
And since I first began,
You've been my dearest friend and
I give you all the praise
I wanna say

I Thank you this moment,
And I will continually.
Each day I live,
Your praise to give, I′m blessed abundantly.
I can′t forget that moment,
When in my life you made such change.
And since the Spirit came,
I've not been the same.




I just wanna give you thanks
I wanna say
