Dear Lord, I want to thank you Lord
For the joy and the love
that you give to me
Dear Lord, I want to thank you,
for the joy and the love
that you give to me
When I was lonely, Lord,
feeling so all alone
There you were, precious Lord,
you made me strong
At times I had to cry,
not knowing the reason why
Precious Lord,
there you were right by my side
Sometimes in the zoning in the morning,
late in the midnight hour
Oh Lord, you were my friend
Sometimes it was early in the morning,
late in the midnight hour
And you were my friend
When I was traveling,
going by train or plane
There I was, precious love,
calling your name
And I know you heard my cry,
I'll tell you the reason why
Once again, precious Lord,
you were my friend
Sometimes it'd be seven in the morning,
late in the midnight hour
Oh Lord, you were my friend
Dear Lord, I want to thank you Lord
For the joy and the love
that you give to me
Dear Lord, I want to thank you Lord
For the joy and the love
that you give to me
Dear Lord, I just want to thank you Lord,
for all the wonderful blessings
that you've given to me,
and all the time that I call on your name,
and you've there.
Sometimes it was early in
the morning,
sometimes late at night,
but oh heavenly Father,
you was always there,
right on time.
Dear Lord, I want to thank you Lord
for the joy and the love that
you give to me
Sometimes it was early in the morning,
late in the midnight hour
Oh Lord, you were my friend
Dear Lord, I want to thank you Lord
For the joy and the love that you give to me
I just want to thank you Lord
I want to thank you Lord
For the joy and the love
that you give to me
Oooo, my
Oooo, my
Oooo, Oooo...
