And I Want to Thank You--Lyrics

by Jeanne Loehnis

And I want to thank You, Lord. Thank You for ev'rything You are! Yes, I want to thank You, Lord always You're my shining star! Whether I'm home or far away each day I wake and as I pray I am filled with Your Love the guiding Presence. You will light my way! And I want to thank You.

And I want to thank You, Lord. Thank You from the bottom of my heart! Yes, I want to thank You, Lord for ev'ry fresh start. I have wandered far down many biways, got turned around and headed back. And yet through it all You've been beside me. Never did I lack! And I want to thank You.

And I want to thank You, Lord. Thank You for living here in me. Yes, I want to thank You, Lord that with Your eyes I see! I see Your glory on the earth, in every human soul such worth Yes, within each of us Your seed is planted. Our lives give You birth! And I want to thank You.
