I Wanna Thank You

Mavis Staples
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
My Lord

Will You forgive
For forgetting
To be grateful for the blessings
That You bestowed on me
Things are getting so good
I get ahead of my time
But if it wasn't for Your giving
Nothing, nothing would be mine
My Lord

I wanna thank You for the air I breathe
Thank You for my hands and feet
Thank You for the love You give
Thank You, Lord, for lettin' me live
Thank you for another day
Thank You when You hear me pray
Thank for heaven preaches 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 dime
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
My Lord
Said if it wasn't for Your giving
Nothing, nothing would be mine

I wanna thank You
(Thank you Lord, Thank you)
