| I don’t know about the future, | 
| I don’t understand some things about the past. | 
| I don’t why some things happen, | 
| I don’t why some things end and others last. | 
| I don’t know of the rhymes and reasons, | 
| I don’t understand the words some people pray. | 
| When I see the hand of mercy Lord, | 
| protect me the dangers in my way. | 
| I know how to say to say thank you | 
| I know a blessing when I see one | 
| I’m a recipient of grace | 
| through the hours and the days | 
| I know how to say thank you. | 
| There are times today when angels, | 
| stood around me and I couldn’t even see. | 
| There were times when I was hurting, | 
| and then you stepped in and took the pain from me. | 
| There were moments when you stopped me Lord, | 
| so I could I smell the roses by the road. | 
| Though I not the wisest person, | 
| there are some things that beyond a doubt I know. | 
| I know how to say to say thank you, | 
| I know a blessing when I see one, | 
| I’m a recipient of grace through the hours and the days, | 
| I know how to say thank you. | 
| I know how to say to say thank you, | 
| I know a blessing when I see one, | 
| I’m a recipient of grace through the hours and the days, | 
| I just want to say thank you. | 
| Thank you. | 
| Oh Lord, I thank you. | 
| Thank you, Lord. | 
| I know how to say thank you. |
