The Staple Singers - I Want To Thank You lyrics
[The Staple Singers - I Want To Thank You lyrics]
Well
My, my, my, my (Yeah)
Yeah (Oh yeah)
Yeah, mm-mm
Well
Yeah
Cross my heart
And I don't hope to die
No more tears
Because I don't have to cry
But this morning
I can see there is a brighter day
And we become stronger because of sacrifice
Inspiration is what you gave to my life
It's true, the love of You
Spiritual affection, lifelong protection
Jesus, I just wanna thank You, thank You
It's been fun
And all the things we've done
Through His footsteps
All the work has been done
Funky music will never destroy the
Faith and love we enjoy
Oh, bless my soul
That it's not out of control
Makes it easy
(Make it easy)
To release the world at it's hold
Funky city, oh, ain't it pretty?
Funky and witty, work for the boss
We carry the cross
Jesus, I just want to thank You
(Give us this day)
Oh, hey He'll show you the way
Jesus is love (Jesus, Jesus, Jesus)
Jesus is love
Oh, everybody nappin'
Slappin' hands and rappin'
Keep tryin' to pull through
But for the love and protection
Where is the action?
Who will show you what to do? (What to do)
And no longer and all because of You
Will we crawl on the back road of no-can do
From now on, we travel the
Highway of sweet rejoice
Oh
We become stronger because of sacrifice
Inspiration is what You gave to my life
It's true, the love of You
Spiritual affection, lifelong protection
Jesus, I just wanna thank You (Thank You)
(Give us this day)
He'll show you the way
Jesus is love (Jesus, Jesus, Jesus)
Jesus is love
Oh, it makes it kinda nice
With the everyday life
When these days seem kinda down
Helps you make, make a choice
If you listen to my voice
You can find the faith
Shop around, shop around
No longer all because of you
Shall we crawl on the back road of no-can do
From now on
We travel the highway of sweet rejoice
Ooh, we become stronger because of sacrifice
Inspiration is what You gave to my life
It's true, the love of You
Spiritual affection, lifelong protection
Jesus, I just wanna thank You
(See the pretty city, ooh, ain't it pretty?)
(Funky and witty) Uh huh
Just wanna thank You
(Workin' for the boss
We carry the cross) I just wanna thank You
(What do you do? Jesus is true) Sure enough
Huh? I wanna thank You
(Spiritual affection
Lifelong protection) I just wanna thank You
(Give us this day)
Yeah yeah (Ooh ooh)
Lord, Lord (Ooh ooh, ooh ooh)
Lord (Ooh ooh)
Thank You, Lord (Ooh ooh)
Thank You, Lord (Ooh ooh)
In my water (Ooh ooh)
Ooh, oh oh oh, ah ah ah, hey (Ooh ooh)
Thank You, thank You, thank You, Lord (O oh)
