I want to give thanks to the Lord for He is good
 For His mercy endures forever
 I want to give thanks to the Lord for He is good
 He is good. He is good to me
  
 I want to give praise to the Lord for He is good
 For His love will last forever
 I want to give praise to the Lord for He is good
 He is good.  He is good to me
  
 All of my life I had been wandering like a ship without a sail
 All of my days were spent as lost as I could be
 But as I travelled down the road
 Jesus was there to take my load
 I was so glad when His mercy covered me
  
 I want to give thanks to the Lord for He is good
 For His mercy endures forever
 I want to give thanks to the Lord for He is good
 He is good. He is good to me
  
 I want to give praise to the Lord for He is good
 For His love will last forever
 I want to give praise to the Lord for He is good
 He is good.  He is good to me
