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
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
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
