Lyrics
Intro
Ohhh
Been so good to us
Been so faithful to us
Verse 1
I can sing a billion songs
Dance till my feet are numb
Spin till I'm empty and poor
Can't praise You enough
I can shout till my voice gives way
Leap till I have no strength
Lose my breath trying to explain
I can't praise You enough
And if time were to stall, I can never tell it all
Words are few, this will have to do
Chorus
I just wanna thank You
I just wanna thank You
I just wanna thank You
Oh I'm grateful
Sing it again, sing it loud
I just wanna thank You
I just wanna thank You
I just wanna thank You
I am, I'm so grateful
This is what He's done
Verse 2
You sang till I found my song
You danced till my heart woke up
Now I move to the rhythm of love
I can't praise You enough
You wept till I found my strength
You lost your breath dying to save me
I'll never go back to that grave
I can't praise You enough
And if time were to stall, I can never tell it all
Words are few, this will have to do
Chorus (Repeat)
I just wanna thank You
I just wanna thank You
I just wanna thank You
I am, I'm so grateful
I just wanna thank You
For your goodness
I just wanna thank You
Your loving kindness
I just wanna thank You
I'm so, I'm so grateful

Meaning & Inspiration
"Thank You" is a Maverick City Music worship song built on the repeated admission that gratitude toward God exceeds what words can hold. Early verses picture extreme physical expressions of praise, singing endlessly, dancing until exhausted, shouting until the voice gives out, only to conclude each image with the same refrain: praise still falls short of what is owed. A later verse turns from generic praise to a specific reason for it, recalling being sung over, danced over, and ultimately rescued from death through a sacrifice described in personal terms, dying and returning to save. The chorus narrows all of that into one plain sentence, repeated simply, a wish to say thank You, treating gratitude as the only adequate response left when praise itself cannot capture everything. A later section shifts from personal testimony to communal declaration, describing a group standing in a promise surrounded by goodness, insisting that what has already happened is only the beginning of more to come. Structurally the song moves from overflowing but insufficient praise to settled, simple thanks, then outward into shared confidence about the future.
