You ask me why I'm thankful, why I sing and shout
you ask me why I'm thankful when this world is full of doubt
you ask me what I've found that makes me feel this way
I found it at the mourner's bench when I began to pray
That is why I'm thankful, that's why I sing and shout
God put something in my heart that I can shout about
thankful 'cause He heard my prayers
I'm thankful 'cause He saved me
in that good old fashioned way

They told me about a man that walked the shores of Galilee
that opened up the blinded eyes of them that could not see
they told me that He healed the sick and made the dumb to talk
He also said unto the lame take up thy bed and walk
That is why I'm thankful, that's why I sing and shout
God put something in my heart that I can shout about
thankful 'cause He heard my prayers
I'm thankful 'cause He saved me
in that good old fashioned way
