[Intro] (Soft organ, gentle drums, distant choir hum) Mmm… yeah… Lord, I thank you… [Verse 1] I walked through fire, I walked through rain, Felt the joy, and I felt the pain. I been lost, but you found me still, Gave me love when I had no will. I was blind, but now I see, All I am, Lord, you gave to me. [Chorus] Lord, I thank you — for every day you give, Lord, I thank you — for teachin’ me to live. When I was down, you raised me high, Now I lift my hands to the sky. Lord, I thank you — for openin’ that door, I ain’t the man I was before. [Verse 2] I played them bars, I sang those blues, Felt the hurt of the life I choose. But when the crowd was gone, the lights went dim, You whispered soft, “Come home again.” Now my heart is clean, my soul brand new, And I give all the praise to you. [Instrumental Interlude – 8 Bars (Organ and Choir)] (Choir hums wordless melody – horns swell gently in background) [Bridge – Spoken / Testifying] You been my shelter, my rock, my guide, You held me close when I should’ve died. And when my voice grows weak and small, I’ll keep on singin’ your name through it all. Yeah… Lord, I thank you… [Chorus – Repeat with Choir] Lord, I thank you — for every day you give, Lord, I thank you — for teachin’ me to live. When I was down, you raised me high, Now I lift my hands to the sky. Lord, I thank you — for openin’ that door, I ain’t the man I was before. [Outro – Choir & Organ Finale] (Male and female choir joins in softly) 🎵 Lord, I thank you… oh yes I do… 🎵 For the light, for the love, for the truth in you… (Eddie ad-libs gently:) Mmm, yeah… thank you, Lord… You been good to me… (Band fades, organ sustains final chord)
