Lyrics
Verse 1
I thank You for it all
The good, bad, the ugly great and small
The times of victory and when I fall
I’m so grateful that I’m still standing tall
I thank You for my tears
The pain helped me overcome my fears
You’ve been good to me down throughout the years
It’s a miracle that I’m still standing here
All that I am is because of all that You’ve brought me through
And everything I’ve survived it’s all because of You
Verse 1 (Repeat)
I thank You for it all
The good, bad, the ugly great and small
The times of victory and when I fall
I’m so grateful that I’m still standing tall
I thank You for my tears
The pain helped me overcome my fears
You’ve been good to me down throughout the years
It’s a miracle that I’m still standing here
All that I am is because of all that You’ve brought me through
And everything I’ve survived it’s all because of You
Bridge
How can I say “thank you” for all the ways You’ve made for me?
(I can’t thank You enough)
The doors You’ve opened the times you were there, always making a way for me
(I can’t thank You enough)
My heart cannot express the gratitude that I feel for You right now
(I can’t thank You enough)
So I just have to pause for a moment right now and say
Vamp
Thank you
For all that You’ve done for me
Thank you
For every opportunity
Thank you
You’ve always made a way
Thank You
I just wanna say
Thank You - for my life
Thank You - for my health
Thank You - for my strength
I just wanna say
Thank You
Verse 1 (Repeat)
I thank You for it all
The good, bad, the ugly great and small
The times of victory and when I fall
I’m so grateful that I’m still standing tall
I thank You for the tears
The pain helped me overcome my fears
You’ve been good to me down throughout the years
It’s a miracle that I’m still standing here
All that I am is because of all that You’ve brought me through
And everything I’ve survived it’s all because of You
I’m grateful for You

Meaning & Inspiration
“Thank You for It All” by Marvin Sapp is a song of thanks for both the good and the hard parts of life. The opening says, “I thank You for it all, the good, the bad, the ugly, great and small,” including times of victory and times of falling. The singer is grateful that he is still standing.
The second part thanks God even for tears and pain, which helped him overcome fears. He says it is a miracle that he is still here, and that all he is and all he has survived come from what God brought him through. That is close to Romans 8:28 and 1 Thessalonians 5:18, which speak of God’s work in all things and giving thanks in all circumstances.
The bridge says he cannot thank God enough and moves into a vamp of thanks for life, health, and strength. The song’s message is plain gratitude for God’s care through every kind of day.
