Lyrics
Ooh Ohh Ahh Ahh
No one loves like you can
No one, you're someone
That I can depend on
You changed my life
Now I have life brand new
It's all because of you
You gave me mercy,
You gave me grace
I didn't deserve it
But you gave it to me anyway
You are thee awesome God
Thee only awesome God
And we love You,
We love You
We give thanks
We bless Your Name
We give you praise
We give thanks
We bless Your Name
We give You praise
I'll praise You forever
Because You're worthy forever
I'll praise You forever, Jesus
Because You're worthy for ever
‘Praise You forever
Because You're worthy forever
Praise You forever
Because You're worthy forever
‘Praise You forever
Because You're worthy forever
Praise You forever
Because You're worthy forever

Meaning & Inspiration
“Thanks” is a direct song of gratitude to Jesus for mercy, grace, dependable love, and a changed life. The opening lines establish God as the one on whom the singer can depend, then connect renewed life with undeserved kindness. That movement from personal testimony to shared praise gives the refrain a clear purpose: thanksgiving naturally becomes blessing God’s name and declaring his worthiness.
The lyrics closely reflect Psalm 100:4, which joins thanksgiving with praise, and Ephesians 2:4-5, where mercy and grace are associated with being made alive in Christ. The song does not treat gratitude as a passing response to one gift. Its repeated promise to praise forever presents thanksgiving as an enduring posture shaped by who God is and what he has done. Even the simple repetition serves the devotional focus, allowing “We give thanks” and “We give You praise” to function like a congregational confession. Timothy Reddick’s song ultimately celebrates grace received rather than favor earned.
