I thank the Lord for everything When things are going my way He said to me, 'I will comfort thee' 'And drive your cares away' He promised me, 'I will walk with thee' 'And drive your cares away' I did not ask for riches He gave me wealth untold The moon, the stars, the sun, the sky Are there for you to behold I thank the Lord for everything And I count my blessings each day He came to me when I needed Him I only have to pray And He'll come to you - if you ask Him to He's only a prayer away
