I have a thankful heart
That you have given me
And it can only come from you...
There is no way to begin
To tell you how I feel
There are no words to express
How you've become so real
Jesus you've given me
So much I can't repay
I have no offering
I have a thankful heart
That you have given me
And it can only come from you
I have a thankful heart
Word's don't come easily
But I am sure you can see
My thankful heart
There is no way to begin
To tell you how I feel
There are no words to express
How you've become so real
Jesus you've given me
So much I can't repay
I have no offering
I have a thankful heart
That you have given me
And it can only come from you
I have a thankful heart
Words don't come easily
But I am sure you can see
My thankful heart
Help me be a man of God
A man who's after your own heart
Help me show my gratitude
And keep in me a thankful heart
I have a thankful heart
That you have given me
And it can only come from you
I have a thankful heart
Words don't come easily
But I am sure you can see
My thankful heart
Thankful heart...
