We Thank You

Oh The Many, Many Times 
You Have Had To Overlook,
The Mistakes We Have Made,
How We Could Fill Some Books!

The Many, Many Times,
You Have Had Turned Your Face,
Just To Turn Around 
And Have To Shed Your Grace.

The Things That We Have Done.
The Times We've Made You Cry.
I Have To Ask You Lord,
"Why, Oh Why, Oh Why?"

Why You Love Us So,
After All That We Have Done
And Father I Must Ask You,
How Could You Give Your Only Son?

The Love You Both Have Given,
From The Start Of Time.
Nothing Can Compare,
To A God So Merciful, So Kind!

How You Love The Sinner. 
How You Hate The Sin.
How We Need To Thank You,
For Our Battle You Did Win,

But Never Can We Ever,
Can We Thank You Enough,
For All You've Brought Us Through,
Through The Roads So Rough.

A Million Songs Can't Do It,
Nor A Million Poems Of Rhyme.
We Could Go On Thanking You,
Right Til The End Of Time

And It Wouldn't Be Enough,
For All The Things You've Done.
For How You've Loved Us So,
You... The Father, Spirit, And The Son!

Thank You, How We Thank You,
Thank You With All Our Might.
We Thank You That For Us,
For Us You've Won The Fight!

Thank You For Forgiving
And Thank You For Your Grace.
Thank You That You Hold Us,
In Your Warm Embrace.

Yes, Your Children We Thank You
And Yes, We Your Bride,
Thank You That You Always,
Walk With Us By Our Side.

Thank You For Your Forgiveness 
And On Us You Don't Give Up!
Thank You Jesus, Thank You,
That With Us You Do Sup.

We Are Your Hands And Feet.
You Forever We Will Love!
We Know You're Coming Back,
To Take Us Up Above!

So We Will Continue On,
To Do Your Work For You.
To Help You Build Your Church,
Up Til The Day You Do,

Come Back As Our Groom,
Whom We Look For In The Sky.
We Wait And We're Looking,
To The Clouds... Way Up High!

Living Together By Your Side,
As One Big Family. 
Oh How We Do Thank You,
And Will For All Eternity!
