I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU LORD, Judy Marshall, BMI

CHORUS

I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU LORD
FOR EVERY TIME YOU HEARD ME PRAY
I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS BEING THERE
WHEN I WAS SO DOWN AND OUT
YOU CAME ALONG AND MADE ME WANT TO SHOUT
I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU LORD
THANK YOU LORD

I

IF I HAD A THOUSAND LIVES TO LIVE
I'D GIVE THEM ALL TO MY LORD
HE'S BEEN SO GOOD TO ME
THAT IS THE LEAST I COULD AFFORD
HE'S MADE THE GOOD TIMES OUTNUMBER THE BAD
HE'S BEEN THE BEST FRIEND THAT I EVER HAD
I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU LORD
THANK YOU LORD

FOR ALWAYS HEARING ME WHEN I PRAY
I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS BEING THERE
FOR THERE HAS BEEN TIMES LORD

THREAD OF HOPE

I

THE WOMAN NEEDED HEALING OF THAT DREADED DISEASE
HER MONEY BROUGHT PHYSICIANS
BUT ONLY JESUS COULD BRING RELIEF
AND THOUGH HER LAST THREAD OF HOPE
IT WAS WORN DOWN TO A STRAND
HER HEART HELD ONTO FAITH
TILL SHE COULD TOUCH HIM WITH HER HAND.

CHORUS

CAUSE WHEN YOUR HANGING BY A THREAD
STILL YOU CAN CLIMB LIFE'S MOUNTAIN
THOUGH THE CLIFFS ARE ROUGH AND RAGGED
YOU CAN COPE
IF YOU SHOULD SLIP AND REACH ROPE'S END
YOU'LL FIND THE HEM OF HIS GARMENT
SO DON'T LET GO OF THAT LAST THREAD OF HOPE

II

IS THAT YOU HANGING ONTO A FRAYED AND FRAGILE FAITH
AND ARE YOU CLINGING TO THE ROCKS
ABOVE A CANYON OF DISMAY
REACH OUT FOR THE LIFELINE IT WILL NEVER BREAK INTO
HOLD FAST DON'T LOSE HEART
FOR ONCE AGAIN GOD WILL PULL YOU THROUGH.

He's still God

He's still GOd when my eyes have cried a million tears
He's still God when my last hope has dissappeared


Don't let go of your last thread of hope

When your hanging by a thread ???????
Don't let go of your last thread of hope


Thank you lord

I just want to thank you Lord
I just want to thank you Lord

when I was so down and out you came a long and made me want to shout
So I just want to thank you Lord thank you lord
