Thank You Lord
Max Romeo · Other Songs - Masia One
Thank you, Lord, for what you're doing now
Thank you, Lord, for ev'ry little thing, yeah, yeah!
Thank you, Lord, for you made me sing
Say I'm in no competition,
But I made my decision
You can keep your opinion
I'm just calling on the wiseman communion
Thank you, Lord, for what you've done for me, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Thank you, Lord, for what you're doing now
Thank you, Lord, for ev'ry little thing, yeah, yeah!
Thank you, Lord, for you made me sing
Sing along, sing along
I don't fear their aggression,
Just to prove my determination
I don't yield to temptation
I haven't learn't my lesson in Revelation
Thank you, Lord, for what you've done for me, yeah-eah-eah!
Thank you, Lord, for what you're doing now
Thank you, Lord, for ev'ry little thing, yeah, yeah!
Thank you, Lord, for you made me sing
Sing along, sing along
Said, I'm in no competition,
But I made my decision
Lord, in my simple way,
Comin', comin', comin', comin'
I love to pray
Thank you, Lord, for what you've done for me, yeah-eah-eah!
Thank you, Lord, for what you're doing now
Thank you, Lord, for ev'ry little thing, yeah, yeah!
Thank you, Lord, for you made me sing
Oh-oh-oh-oh!
Thank You Lord
