We give thanks to You, O God
For Your name is near
We give thanks to You, O God
For You have brought us here
You chose this time
You chose this place
You chose these people to show Your grace
We give thanks to the Father of Mercy
We give thanks to the Author of Love
We give thanks to the Giver of the Son
We give thanks to You, O God
For You have seen us through
We give thanks to You, O God
For what You said will come true
We give thanks to You, O God
For You have seen us through
We give thanks to You, O God
For what You said will come true
You chose the poor
Tou chose the lost
You chose the nails, betrayal, and cross
As for us, we'll declare this forever
We will sing to the God who loves
We will stand up and fight for the last
Until the first shall be lifted up
