Lyrics
So many times
You reached out to me
But I turned my back
'Cause I didn't think you had what I need
And now you're everything
You're everything to me
And I can't be without you, God
You're everything
And I want to say thank you
I was lost and you found me
I was dead inside
And you breathed into me
And you brought these bones to life
I want to say thank you
Thank you for saving me
Thank you for loving me unconditionally, God
You stood with open arms
But I ran away
'Cause I was scared of the pain that came with trust
But I came running back
Into your embrace
Because I knew you'd still be there
You'd never leave me, God
And I want to say thank you
I was lost and you found me
I was dead inside
And you breathed into me
And you brought these bones to life
I want to say thank you
Thank you for saving me
Thank you for loving me unconditionally, God
I don't deserve you, you God
I don't deserve you, you God
But you keep on loving me anyway
Oh, you'd never stop loving me, God
I want to say thank you
I was lost and you found me
I was dead inside
And you breathed into me
And you brought these bones to life
I want to say thank you
Thank you for saving me
Thank you for loving me unconditionally, God
Oh, thank you

Meaning & Inspiration
Thank You presents gratitude as the response to rescue, renewal, and steadfast love. The opening admits that God’s earlier invitations were rejected, but the song moves from distance to dependence as God becomes central to the singer’s life. Images of being found after being lost and receiving breath in dead bones describe salvation as an act initiated by God rather than an achievement earned by the person being restored.
The second verse adds the language of return: open arms remain available even after fear causes retreat. That picture aligns with biblical accounts of God welcoming those who turn back to him. The chorus joins spiritual rebirth with thanksgiving, while the bridge acknowledges that divine love is undeserved and persistent. Ezekiel’s vision of dry bones supplies a clear background for the line about bones brought to life, and the lost-and-found language recalls Jesus’ teaching about restoration. The result is a worship song shaped by confession, dependence, and gratitude for grace.
