"Thank You" lyrics - GREGORY PORTER

[Intro:]
Yeah
Yeah, now

[Chorus:]
Thank you for making a place for me
Opening my eyes, and now I see
Thank you
Thank you, thank you, thank you
Thank you for shining a light on me
Putting me right where I'm s'posed to be
Thank you
Thank you, thank you, thank you

I'll never, never know just why you love me so
How do you do what you do when you say that you love me
I have to stop and sing about the love you bring
You put the spark and the flame in the fire
You inspire me

[Chorus:]
Thank you for making a place for me
Opening my eyes, and now I see
Thank you
Thank you, thank you, thank you
Thank you for shining a light on me
Putting me right where I'm s'posed to be
Thank you
Thank you, thank you, thank you

[Bridge:]
Whatever I do is in your name (I will thank you)
Whatever I say is in your name (Lord, I thank you)
Whatever I sing is in your name (I will thank you)
However I love is in your name (Lord, I thank you)
Whatever I do is in your name (I will thank you)
Whatever I say is in your name (Lord, I thank you)
However I sing is in your name, oh (I will thank you)
Oh, how I love is in your name (I will thank you)

Rough-cut stone, I couldn't polish myself
Had to be done by someone else
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you
Thank you for lighting a fire under me
If I rise, there you'll be
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you

How I thank you
Oh, I thank you
(Wanna give thanks) Wanna give thanks
(Wanna give thanks, I wanna thank God) Got to give thanks, oh
(Thank you)
(Wanna give thanks, I wanna thank God) Wanna give thanks
(Thank you)
(Wanna give thanks, I wanna thank God) Got to give thanks

[Bridge:]
Whatever I do is in your name (I will thank you)
Whatever I say is in your name (Lord, I thank you)
Whatever I sing is in your name (I will thank you)
However I love is in your name (Lord, I thank you)
Whatever I do is in your name (I will thank you)
Whatever I say is in your name (Lord, I thank you)
However I sing is in your name, oh (I will thank you)
Oh, how I love is in your name (I will thank you)

If I cross that seven seas (Lord, I thank you)
It won't be because of me (I will thank you)
I can't move no mountain with my hand (Lord, I thank you)
But with you, I can (I will thank you)
If I think the Lord can change this land (Lord, I thank you)
He got the whole thing in the palm of his hand (I will thank you)
I wanna thank you
I wanna thank you (Lord, I thank you)
Oh, I thank you (Lord, I thank you)

(I will thank you) You own the lightning in your hand
(Lord, I thank you) I am just a mortal man
(I will thank you) Even when I'm at my best
(I will thank you) I need you to do the rest
(I will thank you) Oh, I thank you
(Even when I'm at my best, I am blessed that you do the rest)
(Even when I'm at my best, I am blessed that you do the rest)
(Even when I'm at my best, I am blessed that you do the rest)
(Even when I'm at my best, I am blessed that you do the rest)

[Outro:]
When I was nine or ten
You became my beginning and my end
In between Lakeview and Haley Street
That's where the outdoor church would meet
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
