Thanks for the Joy Songtext

von Ruthie Foster

If I'd known what I know today
Ten years ago
I wonder where I'd be on my journey now
But I'm here this evening
And I know what I'm here to do
I'm here to give thanks for the joy of living my life with you

Well I woke up early this morning
I was feeling mighty bad
And I searched my heart and I found a reason why
Instead of thinking ‘bout where I am
I was thinking ‘bout where I've been
And forgot to give thanks for the joy of living my life with you

Well I'm here to tell you
When my heart's so heavy ‘bout to break in two
One thing every time brings back my smile
Well I start to count my blessings
That's all that I need to do
And I've got to give thanks for the joy of living my life with you

Some days I get weary
When I'm tired of keeping on keeping on
I look around and I see my work is not done
Well I'm here this evening people
You know what I'm here to do
I'm here to give thanks for the joy of living my life with you
I said I'm here to give thanks for the joy of living my life with you
I'm here to give thanks for the joy of living my life with you
