George Nooks Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Give thanks with a grateful heart
Give thanks to the Holy One
Give thanks because He's given Jesus Christ, His Son

Give thanks with a grateful heart
Give thanks to the Holy One
Give thanks because He's given Jesus Christ, His Son
And now let the weak say

"I am strong"
Let the poor say
"I am rich
Because of what the Lord has done for us"
And now let the weak say, "I am strong"
Let the poor say, "I am rich

Because of what the Lord has done for us"
Give thanks...(repeat)
