Lyrics
Verse 1
How do I say thank You Lord
For the way that You love and the way that You come
For all that You've done and all that You'll do
My heart pours thank You
Chorus 1
You don't have to come but You always do
You show up in the splendor, and change the whole room
You don't have to come but You always do
You show up in the splendor, and change the whole room
Verse 2
How do I say thank You Lord
For the life that You gave and the cross that You bore
For the love You poured out to ransom my soul
My heart pours out this thankful song
Bridge 1
You walk through all of my walls, conquered my shame
Stepped into my past, filled my world with grace
You didn't have to come but You wanted to
Chorus 2
You don't have to come but You always do
You're right here in Your splendor standing in this room
Bridge 2
I see the fire in Your eye I see the mercy in Your smile
I feel the fury of Your love all around us
Outro
There's a King in the room with fire in His eyes
And redemption in His heart

Meaning & Inspiration
Thank You is a worship song that asks how to express gratitude to God and answers with a heart poured out in thanks. The first verse thanks Him for the way He loves and comes, and for all that He has done and will do. The chorus marvels that He does not have to come but always does, showing up in splendor and changing the whole room.
The second verse thanks Him for the life He gave and the cross He bore, and the bridge describes Him walking through walls, conquering shame, stepping into the past and filling the world with grace. A later bridge speaks of seeing fire in His eye and mercy in His smile, and the ending announces a King in the room with fire in His eyes and redemption in His heart. The themes follow Psalm 100:4, Revelation 1:14 and Ephesians 2:4-5. The gentle repetition and building imagery give the song a warm, thankful tone.
