Richard Smallwood's "Thank You" is a heartfelt gospel expression of gratitude to God for His forgiveness, mercy, and daily provisions. The song acknowledges human weakness and God's unmerited favor, thanking Him for waking the singer each morning and for life, health, strength, food, and shelter. It also celebrates salvation, wholeness, peace, and the comforting presence of God. The repeated refrain emphasizes that even ten thousand tongues could not adequately express thanks. This worshipful piece encourages believers to reflect on God's goodness and respond with sincere thanksgiving.

For the many times I've fallen
And yet You forgave me, thank You,
Lord, I thank You
For unmerited favor,
And Your brand new mercies
Thank You, how I thank You
For wakin' me up this morning
For letting me see one more dawning
Thank You, Lord, I thank You,
I thank You, Lord, Oooooh
For life, health, and strength
For food and for shelter,
thank You, Lord, I thank You
If I had ten thousand tongues
It just wouldn't be enough to say
Thank You, how I thank You
For wakin' me up this morning
For letting me see one more dawning
Thank You, Lord, I thank You,
I thank You, Lord, Oooooh
For saving my soul, for making me whole
For calming my fears, for wiping my tears
And letting me know that I'm not alone
For wakin' me up this morning
For letting me see one more dawning
Thank You, I thank You, Lord
