Mavis Staples

I Wanna Thank You

Lord, will You forgive me for forgetting

To say thank You for the things that You do for me

Things are going so good I get to feeling so fine

But if it wasn't for Your giving

Nothing, nothing would be mine.

I wanna thank You for the sir I breathe

Thank You for my hands and feet

Thank You f, Lord for lettin' me live

Thank you for another day

Thank You when You hear me pray

Thanks for blessings bestowed

Thank You Lord, I'm grateful Lord

Forgive me, yeah for forgetting to be thankful

Bow on my knees every day in prayer

Things get so good, I gotta make my dine

But if it wasn't for Your giving

Nothing, nothing, would be mine

If it wasn't for Your giving

Nothing, nothing would be mine

Said if it wasn't for Your giving

Nothing, nothing would be mine
