Thank You Lord | The Altar

“Thank You, Lord” is a heartfelt song of gratitude and worship - an offering of praise for every breath, every mercy, and the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ.

Verse 1
Thank You, Lord, for the breath in my lungs,
For waking me up to a brand-new dawn,
For life You gave before I could choose,
For your mercy renewed every morning
For the hands that held me when I was weak,
For love that found me when I couldn’t speak,
For every step You walked with me through,
I lift my heart in thanks to You.

Pre-chorus
Every good and perfect gift
Flows from Your faithful hand,
I stand amazed, my soul declares
How great Your kindness is.

Chorus
Thank You, Lord, for loving me,
For grace that set my spirit free,
For all You’ve done and all You are,
My grateful heart is Yours.
Thank You, Lord, for saving me,
For paying what I couldn’t pay,
My life, my song, my praise will be
Forever, Thank You, Lord.

Verse 2
Thank You, Lord, for sending Your Son,
Heaven’s treasure, the Holy One,
You gave Him up upon that tree
So I could live eternally.
And even if I were the only one,
Lost and broken beneath the sun,
You still would choose the cross for me,
Such is Your love, so deep, so free.

Chorus
Thank You, Lord, for loving me,
For grace that set my spirit free,
For all You’ve done and all You are,
My grateful heart is Yours.
Thank You, Lord, for saving me,
For paying what I couldn’t pay,
My life, my song, my praise will be
Forever, Thank You, Lord.

Verse 3
Thank You, Lord, for family,
For friends who walk this road with me,
For shelter, warmth, and daily bread,
For every tear You’ve gently shed.
For doors You closed, for doors You opened wide,
For being my hope when I had none inside,
For every blessing, great and small,
I thank You, Lord, for it all.

Bridge
I was nothing without Your grace,
Yet You called me by my name,
From death to life, from shame to praise,
My hallelujah still remains.

Final Chorus
Thank You, Lord, for loving me,
For grace that set my spirit free,
For all You’ve done and all You are,
My grateful heart is Yours.
Thank You, Lord, my Saviour King,
For every breath, for everything,
Now and forever, my praise will be
Thank You, Lord… Thank You, Lord.

All my days, in every way,
I’ll live to thank You, Lord.
