"I Want To Thank You" lyrics

True love I never knew
'Til He sent me you

I wanna thank you, Heavenly Father
For shinin' Your light on me
You sent me someone who really loves me
My mind, soul, and 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 loved me
I owe my thanks to Thee

I know it could not happen without You, Lord
Ooh, without You, Lord

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 just playin' games
I kept the faith and didn't worry
My nights grew longer than the days
Until one day, it really happened
You sent true love my way

I know it could not happen without You
Ooh, without You, hey, yeah

When the time is right, He'll fill your life with love and care
Believe, yeah, 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
Woo, oh, thank You, Father
Woo, thank You, Father

Love is patient, love is kind
Love will give you peace of mind
God is love and love is real
Now I know just how it feels
How to dream and it came true
Was the day when I met you
Gave me joy and gave me truth
So I gladly say, "I do"

Thank You, Father
Woo, thank You, Father

I know it could not happen without You
Ooh, without You, ooh, oh woah

I thought it'd never happen
Then came You, You
Then came You, ooh

True love I never knew (Yeah)
'Til He sent me you
I wanna thank You, Heavenly Father
True love I never knew (Oh woah)
'Til He sent me you
I wanna thank You, Heavenly Father, oh woah
True love I never knew
'Til He sent me you
