[Verse 1]
            C                              F
We were wand’ring in the desert with our souls so starved and weak

          Am7                         G
We were hungry for a homeland we did not know how to seek

         C                          F
But we lifted up our voices to the only One who hears

         C             G                  Am
And the God of mercy came and brought us near.
[Verse 2]
          C                                 F
We were locked out of the garden, and our backs bent down with pain.

         Am7                                G
In the shadow of death's darkness we were slaves to sin and blame.

         C                             F
And we cried out in our labor to the only one who hears

         C             G             Am       G
And the God of mercy wiped away our tears.
[Chorus]
 C           E7            F               C
Oh give thanks to the LORD for His love endures for-ever!

           Am           C             D7               G7
We were wandering and lost, and our Father brought us home

       C             E7          F                 C
To a safe dwelling place, to a feast of joy and laughter.

          Am            F               C
Oh give thanks to the LORD, for He is good!
[Verse 3]
          C                                 F
We were fools in our rebellion, with our hunger strike of pride

         Am7                              G
We were sick and growing closer to the death we should have died

          C                                F
Then He heard of our con-dition, and He called us by our names

          C           G               Am      G
And the God of glory took a-way our shame!
[Chorus]
 C           E7            F               C
Oh give thanks to the LORD for His love endures for-ever!

           Am           C             D7               G7
We were wandering and lost, and our Father brought us home

       C             E7          F                 C
To a safe dwelling place, to a feast of joy and laughter.

          Am            F               C
Oh give thanks to the LORD, for He is good!
[Verse 4]
         C                              F
We were far out on the ocean, making wealth and chasing dreams;

         Am7                                      G
But the waves of great destruction brought us tremb’ling to our knees.

          C                                F
Then we cried like drunken sailers to the only one who hears,

          C              G             Am     G
And the God of comfort took away our tears.
[Chorus]
 C           E7            F               C
Oh give thanks to the LORD for His love endures for-ever!

           Am           C             D7               G7
We were wandering and lost, and our Father brought us home

       C             E7          F                 C
To a safe dwelling place, to a feast of joy and laughter.

          Am            F               C
Oh give thanks to the LORD, for He is good!
