I woke up this morning
And looked out my window
I could see the sun shining down on me
It reminded me of You
And of all that You do
And of all the love that You've shown to me
Thank You Lord
Oh thank You Lord
I am so thankful for a friend like You
Your mercy oh Lord is new every morning
Your wisdom is waiting for me to ask
Though I might stumble
Though I lose my step now
Your grace is gonna cover what I lack
Thank You Lord
Oh thank You Lord
I am so thankful for a friend like You
Jesus Your love is better than life to me
Your goodness is always by my side
And why You love me is hard for me to see
But I love You Lord 'cause You've been so good to me
Thank You Lord
Oh thank You Lord
I am so thankful for a friend like You
Though I may never be a scholar with a fancy degree
One thing I know for sure is that I love You
And You love me Lord
Thank You Lord
Oh thank You Lord
I am so thankful for a friend like You
A friend like You [repeat]
