C F G


[Verse 1]
C
Lately I've been through some testing and trials,
F
felt like a detour that went on for miles.
    G
But standing here now looking back I can say,
         C
Lord I'm thankful.
C
Some storms I thought I would never survive
    F
but here I am feeling so strong and alive.
    G
The darkness is passed and the morning is bright,

and I'm thankful!


[Chorus]
C
Lord, I'm thankful like David after Goliath
F
like Paul and Silus after the jail,
    G
I'm thankful like Daniel after the lions,
F             G
Lord I'm thankful.
C
Thankful like Noah back on dry ground;
F
thankful like Lazarus finally unwound.
G
E-ve-ry beat of my heart wants to pound,
    F              G   C
I'm thankful, Lord I'm thankful!


[Verse 2]
     C
I've battled giants of failure and fear,
F
Shadows of doubt where my hope was unclear.
    G
But all along Lord you were hovering near
        C
and I'm thankful
C
All the sins of my past were a thundering roar
     F
that echoed the guilt that I could not ignore
G
but it's nailed to a cross and I hear it no more
        C
and I'm thankful!


[Chorus]
C
Lord, I'm thankful like David after Goliath
F
like Paul and Silus after the jail,
    G
I'm thankful like Daniel after the lions,
F             G
Lord I'm thankful.
C
Thankful like Noah back on dry ground;
F
thankful like Lazarus finally unwound.
        G
E-ve-ry beat of my heart wants to pound,
    F                  C
I'm thankful, Lord I'm thankful!


[Chorus]
C
Lord, I'm thankful like David after Goliath
F
like Paul and Silus after the jail,
    G
I'm thankful like Daniel after the lions,
F             G
Lord I'm thankful.
C
Thankful like Noah back on dry ground;
F
thankful like Lazarus finally unwound.
        G
E-ve-ry beat of my heart wants to pound,
    F                  C
I'm thankful, Lord I'm thankful!


[Outro]
    F                  C
I'm thankful, Lord I'm thankful!
