The Acappella Company - Give Thanks Lyrics

Give Thanks is an a cappella call-and-response song of gratitude built on the line "Give thanks to the Lord (for He is good)." The chorus repeats the invitation with echoed responses and then states that His love endures forever. The verse declares that His love, power, grace and peace will reign forevermore, naming each quality in turn before returning to the chorus.

The closing section adds a spoken push to join in, with "His love endures forever" answered by "praise the Lord" and "hallelujah." The wording follows Psalm 136:1 and Psalm 107:1 on giving thanks because the Lord is good, with Isaiah 9:7 on a reign that has no end and Psalm 100:4 on entering His gates with thanksgiving. Step-out sections let individual voices answer the group, which suits a choir or vocal ensemble. The plain, repeated phrases make the song easy to learn and give it a joyful, confident tone of thanks.
