Meaning & Inspiration
Thank You Lord is a children's praise song that centers on gratitude to God. The first verse comes before God to say one thing, thank You, Lord, and the next thanks Him for all He has given and the blessings not yet seen. The chorus says the singer will bless His name with a grateful heart, a song of praise and an outstretched arm.
The later verses thank Him for taking darkness and giving light, taking sin and shame and sickness and healing pain, and the ending repeats the thanks for being set free. The theme matches Psalm 100:4, Psalm 103:2-5, 1 Thessalonians 5:18 and Colossians 3:15-17. The easy repetition, simple wording and call-and-response style suit young singers and mixed-age gatherings. Its bright, steady tone keeps the focus on gratitude.
