"Thanks" lyrics

Sunday morning in the valley
We were gathered for the service
Emily Jane were front to meet me
Smiled at public kinda nervous
All the people came from miles around
And I can still hear the sound as they sang

Thanks to the Lord for the sun up in the sky
For the corn that's going high, for the child that didn't die
And I say thanks to the Lord for my crops and for my farm
For the strength in my right arm, and for keeping us from harm
And I say, thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks
Thanks to the Lord for a girl called Emily Jane

Came the day, when we were married
All my folks in the congregation
Emily Jane looked like an angel
The sweetest thing in all creation
Papa hugged me and my mama cried
And all the people filled with pride as they said

Thanks to the Lord for the sun up in the sky
For the corn that grew so high, for the child that didn't die
And I say thanks to the Lord for my crops and for my farm
For the strength in my right arm, and for keeping us from harm
And I say, thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks
Thanks to the Lord for a girl called Emily Jane

Thanks to the Lord for the sun up in the sky
For the corn that grew so high, for the child that didn't die
And I say thanks to the Lord for my crops and for my farm
For the strength in my right arm, and for keeping us from harm
And I say, thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks
Thanks to the Lord for a girl called Emily Jane
