I Want To Thank You Lyrics

[Intro]
Well
My, my, my, my (Yeah)
Yeah (Oh yeah)
Yeah, mm-mm
Well
Yeah

[Verse 1]
Cross my heart
And I don't hope to die
No more tears
Because I don't have to cry
But this morning
I can see there is a brighter day
And we become stronger because of sacrifice
Inspiration is what you gave to my life

[Chorus]
It's true, the love of You
Spiritual affection, lifelong protection
Jesus, I just wanna thank You, thank You

[Verse 2]
It's been fun
And all the things we've done
Through His footsteps
All the work has been done
Funky music will never destroy the faith and love we enjoy
Oh, bless my soul
That it's not out of control
Makes it easy (Make it easy), to release the world at its hold
Funky city, oh, ain't it pretty?
Funky and witty, work for the boss
We carry the cross

[Chorus]
Jesus, I just want to thank You (Give us this day)
Oh, hey, He'll show you the way
Jesus is love (Jesus, Jesus, Jesus)
Jesus is love

[Verse 3]
Oh, everybody nappin', slappin' hands and rappin'
Keep tryin' to pull through
But for the love and protection
Where is the action?
Who will show you what to do? (What to do)
And no longer and all because of You
Will we crawl on the back road of no-can-do
From now on, we travel the highway of sweet rejoice, oh
We become stronger because of sacrifice
Inspiration is what You gave to my life

[Chorus]
It's true, the love of You
Spiritual affection, lifelong protection
Jesus, I just wanna thank You (Thank You)
(Give us this day)
He'll show you the way
Jesus is love (Jesus, Jesus, Jesus)
Jesus is love

[Bridge]
Oh, it makes it kinda nice with the everyday life
When these days seem kinda down
Helps you make, make a choice
If you listen to my voice, you can find the faith
Shop around, shop around
No longer all because of you
Shall we crawl on the back road of no-can-do
From now on, we travel the highway of sweet rejoice
Ooh, we become stronger because of sacrifice
Inspiration is what You gave to my life

[Chorus]
It's true, the love of You
Spiritual affection, lifelong protection
Jesus, I just wanna thank You (See the pretty city, ooh, ain't it pretty?)
(Funky and witty) Uh-huh, just wanna thank You
(Workin' for the boss, we carry the cross) I just wanna thank You
(What do you do? Jesus is true) Sure enough, huh? I wanna thank You
(Spiritual affection, lifelong protection) I just wanna thank You
(Give us this day)

[Outro]
Yeah-yeah (Ooh-ooh)
Lord, Lord (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Lord (Ooh-ooh)
Thank You, Lord (Ooh-ooh)
Thank You, Lord (Ooh-ooh)
In my water (Ooh-ooh)
Ooh, oh-oh-oh, ah-ah-ah, hey (Ooh-ooh)
Thank You, thank You, thank You, Lord (Ooh)
