I Want to Thank You

I wanna thank You, Heavenly Father

For shinin' your light on me

You sent me someone who really loves me

And not just my body

He keeps me happy, so very happy, he loves me

I don't know how to be

It's been a long time since I had someone who loves me

I owe my thanks to Thee

I know it could not happen without Your love

Ooh, without Your love, oh

It took a long time for it to happen

But I knew those nights I prayed

That You would send me someone who's real

And not the one for play

I kept the faith and didn't worry

My nights grew longer than the days

Until one day, it really happened

He sent true love my way

I know it couldn't have happened without You

Ooh, without You, ooh

When the time is right, He'll fill your life with love and care

Believe, and He'll be there

Just do all right, don't do no wrong, and keep the faith

The Lord will shine His light your way

Thank you, Father

For shinin' your light on me

I prayed a long time for it to happen

I did 'cause I believe

He makes me happy, so very happy

I don't know how to be

It's been a long time since I had someone who loves me

I owe my thanks to Thee

I know it couldn't have happened without You

Ooh, without You, ooh

I know (My nights were long and blue)

It couldn't have happened without Your love (Until He sent me you)

Ooh, without Your love, oh, oh, ah

(My nights were long and blue) I know

It couldn't have happened without You (Until He sent me you)

Ooh, without You

(My nights were long and blue) I know

It couldn't have happened without You (Until He sent me you)

Ooh, without You, ooh
