I Want to Thank You

To the guy who left the pamphlet
On the midnight Greyhound bus
That asked me if I knew
Where I was going
To the late-night TV preacher
When I couldn't sleep a wink
Reminding me there's peace
For those who know Him
To the kid who wore the T-shirt
That said, "Elvis is cool
But Jesus is the one and only King"

I want to thank you
For the witness you have been
I want to thank you
For remindin' me of Him
For the way you're unashamed
To show your faith
In a world that needs His mercy
And His grace
I want to thank you

To the local gospel DJ
Who works every single night
Playing songs to reach the nonbelievers
To the little white-haired lady
Who works at the Sack 'N Save
Who always says "God bless you"
When you see her
To a mom and dad who spent
A lifetime on their knees
Praying for a child they loved so dear
I wish I told them more
While they were here

I want to thank you
For the witness you have been
I want to thank you
For reminding me of Him
For the way you're unashamed
To show your faith
In a world that needs His mercy
And His grace
I want to thank you

Some of them were family
Some of them were friends
Some of them were strangers
But all were heaven-sent

I want to thank you
I want to thank you
For the way you're unashamed
To show your faith
In a world that needs His mercy
And His grace
I want to thank you
I want to thank you
