I Want To Thank You Karen Peck And New River Lyrics lyrics

I Want To Thank You Karen Peck And New River by Bill Gaither

To the guy who left the pamphlet on the midnight Greyhound bus,
that asked me if i new where i was going,
to the late night TV preacher when i couldn’t sleep a wink,
reminding me there’s peace for those who know Him,
to the kid who wore the T-shirt that said,
‘Elvis is cool, but Jesus is the one and only King’

Chorus:
I want to thank you for the witness you have been
I want to thank you for reminding me of Him
For the way your’e unashamed to show your faith
In a world that needs His mercy and His grace
I want to thank you

To the local gospel DJ who works every single night,
Playing songs to reach the nonbelievers,
To the little white-haired lady who works at the SACK’N’Save
Who always says ‘God Bless You’ when you see her,
To a mom and dad who spent a lifetime on their knees,
Praying for a child they loved so dear,
I wish i told them more while they were here,

Chorus:
I want to thank you for the witness you have been
I want to thank you for reminding me of Him
For the way your’e unashamed to show your faith
In a world that needs His mercy and His grace
I want to thank you

Some of them were family and some of them were friends,
Some of them were strangers,
But all were heaven- sent.
I want to thank you
I want to thank you
For the way you’re unashamed to show your faith
In a world that needs His mercy and His grace
I want to thank you
I want to thank you
