How Do I Say Thank You
Neal Roberson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lord, You've helped us through the thick and thin.
When we were sick You healed us, hungry, You fed us,
You brought us through the winds and the rain.
How do I say thank you (for all that You have done)?
How do I say thank you (for my family and my home)?
How do I say thank you (for giving us this day),
thank You, thank You.
I give myself to You without one plea,
my heart, my mind, my life I give to Thee.
For we are not ashamed to sing praises to Your name,
I found out in You, You never change.
How do I say thank you (for all that You have done)?
How do I say thank you (for my family and my home)?
How do I say thank you (for giving us this day),
(You kept all from danger and Lord, we want to say)
Thank You, thank You.
Thank You, thank You, Lord,
we want to thank You.
Thank You, Lord.
Thank You,
we want to thank You, Lord.
We want to thank You, Lord.
Compositor: Patrick Henderson/ Scott Parker

on He Saw Me
He Saw Me by Bishop Neal Roberson
He saw me
He saw me
He looked beyond the crowd
Saved a wretch like me
If he hadn’t died Lord knows I would not, I would not be free
Glory be to God, He was looking out for me
He saw me
Thank God he saw me
He looked beyond the crowd
Saved a wretch like me
Oh, If he hadn’t died I would not be free
Glory be to God
He saw me
I was standing at the alter
I was seeking for the Lord
My heart was so heavy
Because I knew I was lost
Suddenly I heard a voice
It was from Jesus and it was saying
Doesn’t mean that something’s wrong
It only means something good is going on
You know what happened?
He saw me
Thank God he saw me
He looked beyond the crowd
Saved a wretch like me
Oh, If he hadn’t died I would not be free
Glory be to God
He Saw me
(CHORUS)
Glory be to God
Glory Be to God
Glory be to God
I’m glad about it tonight
Glory be to God
Glory be to God
He Saw Me
Glory, Glory, Glory
He Saw Me
Glory, Glory, Glory
He Saw Me
