Hey
Thank you master, for my soul
Thank you master
Thank you for my soul
You gave me food to eat
You put shoes on my feet
And you kept me
Lord, I know haven't been so good this week
But you continue to bless me, yeah
And I just want to take time to thank you
For my soul
Thank you master
Thank you for my soul
Lord thank you, thank you master
Thank you for my soul, yeah
'Cause you didn't have to hear my moanin'
Lord, you didn't have to hear my groanin'
But you kept me, yeah
You put shoes on my feet
You kept food for me to eat, yeah
And Lord, how you blessed me
But most of all, thank you master
For my soul
Thank you, thank you, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
That's alright!
Woo-hoo
Thank you master, he
Lord thank you for my soul, yeah
Thank you for my hands, thank you for my feet
Thank you Lord, thank you for my mind
Thank you for my soul
Lord I know I haven't been so good this week, God
But you kept me
You didn't have to hear my moanin'
You didn't have to hear my groanin'
Hey-hey-eh-eh
But Lord you blessed me, he
And Lord, I wanna thank you
I just got to say much obliged to you, master
'Cause the walls of my room
Was not the walls of my grave
My bed was not my cooling board
Y'all don't know what I'm talkin' 'bout
My sheet (My sheet)
Was not my wine (Was not my wining sheet)
And I want to say thank you, thank you
So much obliged to you, thank you
(Hey, hey, hey, thank you!)
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
(Thank you, thank you)
I wanna thank you Lord
(Hey, eh-yeah)
Thank you for the way to store
Thank you for my brother
I wanna thank you
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
