Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Thank you, Lord, for what you've done for me, yeah!
Thank you, Lord, for what you're doing now
Thank you, Lord, for ev'ry little thing, yeah, yeah!
Thank you, Lord, for you made me sing

Say I'm in no competition,
But I made my decision
You can keep your opinion
I'm just calling on the wiseman communion

Thank you, Lord, for what you've done for me, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Thank you, Lord, for what you're doing now
Thank you, Lord, for every little thing, yeah, yeah!
Thank you, Lord, for you made me sing
Sing along, sing along

I don't fear their aggression,
Just to prove my determination
I don't yield to temptation
I haven't learnt my lesson in Revelation

Thank you, Lord, for what you've done for me, yeah-eah-eah!
Thank you, Lord, for what you're doing now
Thank you, Lord, for ev'ry little thing, yeah, yeah!
Thank you, Lord, for you made me sing
Sing along, sing along

Said, I'm in no competition,
But I made my decision
Lord, in my simple way,
Comin', comin', comin', comin'
I love to pray

Thank you, Lord, for what you've done for me, yeah-eah-eah!
Thank you, Lord, for what you're doing now
Thank you, Lord, for ev'ry little thing, yeah, yeah!




Thank you, Lord, for you made me sing
Oh-oh-oh-oh!

I see people around me. dying, cancer, suicide, OD’s and I’m still here in spite of my adventurous life. And I realise that The Almighty have saved my life so many times, and I can truly say Thank You Lord.
