Thankful

When you see me and tears are falling from my eyes
its because Im thankful, thankful
and you see me dancing around and youre wondering why
(Its because Im thankful) its because Im thankful
For when I think about your goodness
And all the ways youve made for me
I did nothing to deserve it
Its just you keep blessing me
And without your tender mercy
I dont know where I would be
Makes me say Im thankful, (to everything youve done Jesus) thankful
Im thankful (anybody in this room tonight)
Its because Im thankful (listen here)
When I remember where I was and where I am right now
It makes me say Im thankful, thankful (listen)
The lord lifted my hands when I felt like throwing in the towel
Lord thats why Im thankful [lord thats why Im thankful]
Cause you were not there when my life was hurting but somehow god he brought me though (yes he did)
And what the enemy meant for my evil god you turned it around for my good
And there never was a moment when you left my there alone
Ooo thats why Im thankful (any thankful people in this room today?) thankful
(Im so thankful) its because Im thankful
(For the times youve stood by me) for the times youve stood by me
(When all around) when all around I walked away
And the sins I committed against you Jesus
Because of the blood lord you forgave me
(Thank you lord) thank you lord for every blessing, and new mercy every day
Thankful (yes lord I am) thankful
(I need to know how many thankful people are in this room can say Im thankful)
(If youre really thankful come on someone tell him again) its because Im thankful, thankful
(Come on tell him) its because Im thankful
Thankful 13x
Its because Im thankful
