Walter Hawkins - Thank You Lyrics

[Verse 1:]
Tragedies are common place,
all kinds of diseases,
people are slipping away.
The econonimes down,
people can't get enough pay,
but as for me, all I can say is,
thank you Lord, for all You've done for me.

[Verse 2:]
There's folks without homes,
living out in the streets,
and the drug habits some say,
just won't cease.
Muggers and robbers,
no place seems to be safe,
but You'll be my protection
every step of the way;
and I want to say,
thank you Lord, for all You've done for me.

[Chorus:]
(It could have been me) thank You,
(outdoors) thank You,
(with no food) thank You,
(and no clothes) thank You,
(or all alone) thank You,
(without a friend) thank You,
(or just another number) thank You,
(with a tragic end) thank You, oh.
(But You didn't see fit) thank You,
(to let none of those things be) thank You,
('cause everyday by Your power) thank You,
(You keep on keeping me) thank You;
thank You Lord for all You've done for me.

[Vamp 1:]
(I wanna thank You for Your love) thank You,
(I wanna thank You for Your power) thank You,
(I wanna thank You for protection) thank You,
(every hour) thank You.

[Vamp 2:]
I wanna thank You for Your love (thank You),
I wanna thank You for Your power (thank You),
I wanna thank You for protection (thank You),
every hour (thank You).
