[Verse 1]
We were wandC’ring in the desert with our soFuls so starved and weak
We were huAm7ngry for a homeland we did nGot know how to seek
But we liCfted up our voices to the oFnly One who hears
And the GCod of mercy caGme and brought us nAmear.
[Verse 2]
We were loCcked out of the garden, and our baFcks bent down with pain.
In the shAm7adow of death's darkness we were slGaves to sin and blame.
And we crCied out in our labor to the onFly one who hears
And the GCod of mercy wiGped away our tAmears.G  
[Chorus]
OCh give thankE7s to the LORD Ffor His love endCures for-ever!
We were wanAmdering and loCst, and our FaD7ther brought us hG7ome
To a saCfe dwelling plE7ace, to a feFast of joy and lauCghter.
Oh give thAmanks to the LOFRD, for He is goCod!
[Verse 3]
We were foCols in our rebellion, with our hunFger strike of pride
We were sAm7ick and growing closer to the deaGth we should have died
Then He heCard of our con-dition, and He calFled us by our names
And the GoCd of glory tGook a-way our shAmame!G  
[Chorus]
OCh give thankE7s to the LORD Ffor His love endCures for-ever!
We were wanAmdering and loCst, and our FaD7ther brought us hG7ome
To a saCfe dwelling plE7ace, to a feFast of joy and lauCghter.
Oh give thAmanks to the LOFRD, for He is goCod!
[Verse 4]
We were fCar out on the ocean, making weaFlth and chasing dreams;
But the wAm7aves of great destruction brought us tremGb’ling to our knees.
Then we crCied like drunken sailers to the oFnly one who hears,
And the GoCd of comfort toGok away our teAmars.G  
[Chorus]
OCh give thankE7s to the LORD Ffor His love endCures for-ever!
We were wanAmdering and loCst, and our FaD7ther brought us hG7ome
To a saCfe dwelling plE7ace, to a feFast of joy and lauCghter.
Oh give thAmanks to the LOFRD, for He is goCod!
