Verse 1:
      C majorC               FF
We were wand’ring in the desert with our souls so starved and weak
     Am7Am7             G+G
We were hungry for a homeland we did not know how to seek
     C majorC             FF
But we lifted up our voices to the only One who hears
     C majorC       G+G         A minorAm
And the God of mercy came and brought us near.

Verse 2:
     C majorC                 FF
We were locked out of the garden, and our backs bent down with pain.
     Am7Am7                G+G
In the shadow of death's darkness we were slaves to sin and blame.
     C majorC               FF
And we cried out in our labor to the only one who hears
     C majorC       G+G       A minorAm    G+G
And the God of mercy wiped away our tears.

Chorus:
 C majorC      E7E7      FF        C majorC
Oh give thanks to the LORD for His love endures for-ever!
      A minorAm      C majorC       D7D7        G7G7
We were wandering and lost, and our Father brought us home
    C majorC       E7E7     FF         C majorC
To a safe dwelling place, to a feast of joy and laughter.
     A minorAm      FF        C majorC
Oh give thanks to the LORD, for He is good!

Verse 3:
     C majorC                 FF
We were fools in our rebellion, with our hunger strike of pride
     Am7Am7               G+G
We were sick and growing closer to the death we should have died
     C majorC                FF
Then He heard of our con-dition, and He called us by our names
     C majorC      G+G        A minorAm   G+G
And the God of glory took a-way our shame!

Chorus:
 C majorC      E7E7      FF        C majorC
Oh give thanks to the LORD for His love endures for-ever!
      A minorAm      C majorC       D7D7        G7G7
We were wandering and lost, and our Father brought us home
    C majorC       E7E7     FF         C majorC
To a safe dwelling place, to a feast of joy and laughter.
     A minorAm      FF        C majorC
Oh give thanks to the LORD, for He is good!

Verse 4:
     C majorC               FF
We were far out on the ocean, making wealth and chasing dreams;
     Am7Am7                   G+G
But the waves of great destruction brought us tremb’ling to our knees.
     C majorC                FF
Then we cried like drunken sailers to the only one who hears,
     C majorC       G+G       A minorAm   G+G
And the God of comfort took away our tears.

Chorus:
 C majorC      E7E7      FF        C majorC
Oh give thanks to the LORD for His love endures for-ever!
      A minorAm      C majorC       D7D7        G7G7
We were wandering and lost, and our Father brought us home
    C majorC       E7E7     FF         C majorC
To a safe dwelling place, to a feast of joy and laughter.
     A minorAm      FF        C majorC
Oh give thanks to the LORD, for He is good!
