VERSE 1
What wondrous love, the Son of God
The cup he took was meant for us
No other king would trade His crown
For scars of thorns upon His browHe bore the cross, what sacrifice
His victory was hell’s demise
The spotless lamb was painted red
To wash in white the stains of sin
CHORUS 1(So we just) Thank the Lord
(So we just) Thank the Lord
There’s freedom for all
Because of the cross
(Can we just) Thank the Lord
VERSE 2The prince of peace was laid to rest
All Hope was lost as darkness fell
But on the dawn came forth a light
The Son of God was raised to life
And If He rose then so will I
CHORUS 2Thank the Lord
(So we just) Thank the Lord
There’s freedom for all
Because of the cross
(Can we just) Thank the Lord
VERSE 3
When He returns to claim His bride
I’ll stand amazed upon the sight
The Saints of God made one with Christ
Atonement by His sacrifice
Forever we are reconciled, oh
CHORUS 1(So we just) Thank the Lord
(So we just) Thank the Lord
There’s freedom for all
Because of the cross
(Can we just) Thank the Lord
CHORUS 2Thank the Lord
(So we just) Thank the Lord
There’s freedom for all
Because of the cross
(Can we just) Thank the Lord -

“Thank The Lord” is a powerful anthem centered on the freedom we have because of the cross of Jesus Christ. With lyrics that reflect both reverence and celebration, this song captures the heart of the gospel - Jesus’ sacrifice, His victory over sin and death, and the hope we now carry because He rose again.
Written for the local church and for believers everywhere, “Thank The Lord” is more than a song, it’s a response. A response of gratitude. A response of worship. A response to the finished work of Jesus.
From the opening lines to the final chorus, this song invites listeners to remember what Christ has done and to lift a simple but powerful declaration:
Thank the Lord.
