Artist/Band: Jim Reeves
Lyrics for Song: We Thank Thee
Lyrics for Album: All Time Gospel Favorites: The Encore Collection [1997]



(Jim Reeves)



We thank Thee each morning for a newborn day

Where we may work the fields of new mown hay

We thank Thee for the sunshine

And the air that we breathe

Oh Lord, we thank Thee.



We thank Thee for the rivers that run all day

We thank Thee for the little birds that sing away

We thank Thee for the trees

And the deep blue sea

Oh Lord, we thank Thee.



Oh yes, we thank Thee Lord

For every flower that blooms

Birds that sing, fish that swim

And the light of the moon.



We thank Thee every day

As we kneel and pray

That we were born with eyes

To see these things.



We thank Thee for the fields

Where the clovers grow

We thank Thee for the pastures

Where the cattle may roam

We thank Thee for Thy love so pure and free

Oh Lord, we thank Thee.



Oh yes, we thank Thee Lord

For every flower that blooms

Birds that sing, fish that swim

And the light of the moon.



We thank Thee every day

As we kneel and pray

That we were born with eyes

To see these things.



We thank Thee for the fields

Where the clovers grow

We thank Thee for the pastures

Where the cattle may roam

We thank Thee for Thy love so pure and so free

Oh Lord, we thank Thee.
