Thank You Jesus Lyrics
The lyrics are SO simple and repetitive, perfect for Primary age children to easily learn!
Thank you for my heart that’s beatin’
Thank you for the air I’m breathin’
Thank you for my faith that’s brought me here
Thank you for the beauty everywhere.
Thank you for the sunshine in the sky
For every low and every high
Thank you for this world that you created for us.
I thank you Jesus, I thank you Jesus, I thank you Jesus
Thank you for this joy I’m feelin’
Thank you for this life I’m livin’
Thank you for forgiveness when I sin for open arms that let me in.
Thank you for the rainbow after rain and for your love that stays the same
Thank you for this world that you created for us.
I thank you Jesus, I thank you Jesus, I thank you Jesus
