O Thank You, O Thank You, My Dear Lord

How uplifting it is
To live, with you, in peace

How grateful I am
To be lifted, from my shame

O God, I come to worship you
Today, I promise to be true

With my offering, unto you, I bring
Of thanks and praises, I long to sing 

Though, unworthy of your great blessings
I pray forgive me, for I’ve done evil things

Chorus:

O thank you, O thank you, my dear Lord
You spared me from your Angel’s sword

Amen
