Lyrics
Verse 1
When I look around and see
The good things He does for me
I know I’m unworthy of them all
But His blessings He freely gives
I owe my life to Him
I’ve got so much to thank Him for.
Chorus
And I’ve got so much to thank Him for
So much to praise Him for
Well you see now He has been so good to me
And when I think of what He’s done
And where He's brought me from
I’ve got so much to thank Him for
Verse 2
And sometimes while on this way
I kneel and I stop and say
Thank You for all You’ve done for me
One day I’ll reach sweet heavens shore
Oh please just let me kneel once more
I’ve got so much to thank You for
Chorus
And I’ve got so much to thank Him for
So much to praise Him for
Well you see now He has been so good to me
And when I think of what He’s done
And where He's brought me from
I’ve got so much to thank Him for
And when I think of what He’s done
And where He's brought me from
I’ve got so much to thank Him for

Meaning & Inspiration
So Much To Thank Him For is a Southern gospel song of simple gratitude. The first verse says that looking around and seeing the good things God has done, the singer knows he or she is unworthy of them all, yet the blessings are freely given, and so the singer owes life to Him. The chorus repeats that there is so much to thank and praise Him for, and recalls what He has done and where He has brought the singer from.
The second verse says that along the way the singer stops and kneels to say thank You for all He has done, and looks to the day of reaching heaven's shore and kneeling once more. The themes follow Psalm 103:2 on forgetting none of His benefits, Psalm 107:1 on giving thanks to the Lord for His goodness, and 1 Thessalonians 5:18 on giving thanks in all circumstances. The plain, conversational wording and repeated chorus give the song a humble, thankful tone suited to a quartet or family group.
